The IRS hasn't finalized one or more of your forms. Once forms are finalized, you will be able to access this section. Is this an error message?

That is a TurboTax message and not from the IRS.  There are forms and schedules on your tax return that have not yet been finalized for e-filing.  If you click on the Review tab and go through the interview there will be a screen showing the forms and schedules and the dates they will be available.

No, mine says it will be available today and I called to ask what is going on and the answer was that NOBODY can file until the 29th. So why does it say the forms will be ready today, the 18th?!

Same thing happened to me

This happened to me just today. Weird!

my medical forms have been submitted in error

I have been googling this issue for hours and have had no answers found. I have reviewed every little thing thatI can and it is still telling me this message. PLEASE HELP

@meadeanator Click this link for info on Federal Forms Availability.

This link has more more details on When Forms Will Be Ready.

I waited a week as it said the form would be available on the 28th. then I tried again today (the 29th) still not available...
I don't even have a business anymore! just 1 normal job.
Why does turbo tax free ed. need form 8995?

Yes I did look at that and I have no forms needing wait...

The IRS has changed the projected release date of Form 8995 to 02/08/20201 so that they can finalize it. There is no guarantee that the release dates given will remain the same under some circumstances. We encourage you to check the Form Availability dates for changes after the projected release date has passed.

I've hit Check for Updates, and I'm told that my software is up-to-date. Why am I getting this message, if I can't get the tax forms?

I'm still having this problem...gone over it twice...still there

No, that is not an error message. You will receive that message if you have a form that needs to be filed with your tax return, but the IRS has not released it yet. What form are you filing?

I am getting this message also, when I do a review if does not indicate any forms are not available. There are numerous forms that the intuit system filled out  so I have no idea how to even check which ones may be pending or when they will be ready. Very frustrating especially since I already paid and can't use another service. 

Perhaps IRS form 8915-E or IRS form 7202 are found in your tax return.

The IRS hasn't finalized one or more of your forms. Once forms are finalized, you will be able to access this section.…  I don’t understand exactly what’s it means? How long I should wait till I can file my return. Please explain more. Thank you !

In the Review section of the TurboTax program there will be a list of forms and/or schedules that are included in your tax return that have not yet been finalized and the date when they will be available for filing.

So, TurboTax is rushing me for weeks, to get started on my taxes - SPAMing me repeatedly to do so.  So, I go ahead and get it done only to get this roadblock.  Mine says that the missing form (8911) won't be available until 3/17/2022.  Further, the filing process had me pay for the filing via credit card.  Keep in mind that multiple times through the process, we are interrupted with the suggestion that we should upgrade.  Intuit is just a little too focused on the revenue stream and needs to work on their product offering.

In this public forum, we are provided with form availability information, but not an explanation as to why the form is not available until that date.  For additional information, it would be necessary to contact customer support. Please refer to the information below to contact customer support.
