The federal forms listed for update on Jan 18th will be updated by tonight. When they are released and available for e-filing, in the FAQ below, the date in the column will change to available. The IRS plans to begin accepting e-files on January 29th.

Below are the expected release dates for the federal forms. When your federal forms are finalized, open Turbo Tax and Click on the Federal, on the left menu, to open and finish your return.
