when will turbotax 2025 updates be posted

[TimO610]

Would like to know when I can start running different scenarios for 2025 taxes. Trying to find the best time to sell rental property in the next few years.

Currently, we do not have estimated time when 2025 software will be released. Generally we release towards the end of the year and hopefully timeline will be same this year too. Capital gain tax rates are same as before with no changes in BBB. 

Thanks for participating in TurboTax's Ask the Expert event today. I hope this information was helpful!

The TurboTax desktop programs for tax year 2025 should be available for purchase in mid-November.  The TurboTax online editions for tax year 2025 should be available in early December.

When will Schedule C be available? TurboTax for sole proprietors is useless without it. I have TurboTax installed, but can't actually do anything.

I don't know the direct answer to your question, but my guess would be mid-December.

I use the version that is made for tax professionals (ProSeries), and even though they release it in early November, it is a waste of time until the mid-December update (I think it is scheduled for December 17th).   I suspect that TurboTax is similar.

It is December 17th for TurboTax as well.

I only see a draft "C" on the IRS site. That should get you close enough for drafts of Government work. TT will not update until the IRS does.

Why did I bother subscribing to annual purchasing and early release of turbo tax?  It is of no value for my home and business tax preparation without being able to enter my self employment section.  I absolutely need to know the extrapolated tax scenarios for possible 401k contributions and their effect on QBI, taxable income, etc. and what I can afford to take as income (roth conversions) before crossing thresholds for IRMAA for example.  This all has to be done by Dec. 31st.

And it should be functional by mid-December.

Because Intuit's marketing team is FAR, FAR better than the managers of the development team.  They convince you to buy early for mostly-useless software.

While the December 17th update will likely add a lot to the program, it still may not suit your needs.  For the things you are talking about, it very often isn't useful until mid-January or later.

Boy, to coin a phrase, "Ain't that the truth". On the other hand, they have at least one thing in common; neither team cares about what their customers want or need.

To be fair, it is quite possible that some of the development "team" care (in the past, I've seen some positive responses), but those who manage that team do not allow those things.

I think you're spot on and I should have been more specific; the people running the show (management) are the ones who are totally insensitive to customers' feedback and desires in terms of their products.

@user17638275602 - did you try using Forms View?

I need TurboTax 2025 desktop soon to do my year-end planning.  When will it be available?
