TurboTax Business 2023 transmissions are not available.

I saw that there was an update the following issue about a week ago, but I still cannot file.

 

TurboTax Business is updated. I get the following error when I try to electronically file my taxes.


TurboTax Business 2023

Tax Year 2023 transmissions are not available..

TurboTax Business is not ready to process Tax Year 2023 for this return.

Thank you tagteam!

 

I see that the basic LLC Form 8453-PE is listed as Efile: unsupported. This is the form that TurboTax Business 2023 had me print out, sign, convert to PDF, then upload it into the program. Why have me do all of this when the form is unsupported?

 

It would be better to tell me at that time that the Efiling is not an option, but still have me print out the form to sign right away.

 

Does Efile: unsupported mean that it will never be available this year to upload?  So that I must physically mail the taxes to Federal first, and then the state?

As of moments ago efile transmission does not work:  Here is the error message verbatim:

"Tax Year 2023 transmissions are not available..  TurboTax Business is not ready to process Tax Year 2023 for this return."

This return is a Form 1041.

The same Turbo Tax Business 2023 did efile transmit a Form 1065, 2 days ago on 2/16/24.

 

So, what is the real status, please?

Not every one is an ERO.  Many TurboTax users are individuals, not official EROs !

I'm sorry that I misread your comment about EROs.  My mistake.

So now, what is TurboTax doing about the fact that we can not efile a Form 1041 using TT Business 2023?

Hi, how did you find the status?  I was on the phone with TT Support on 2/18 for 55 minutes and they could not define the problem nor the solution.

Here's the Business Forms states availability lists:

There is still a problem:

Form 1041 shows as available.  Form 2 for WI state shows as available.

But I can not efile.  Here's the message I get when attempting:  "TurboTax 2023 transmissions are not available.  TurboTax Business is not ready to process Tax Year 2023 for this return."

Wait a few days and try again...sometimes those ridiculous "Ready" icons ......commonly, all season long so far...show up a day or three before they actually are ready.

 

Probably, different departments in charge of each, so Left-hand doesn't coordinate properly with Rt-hand.

I'm having the same problem with Massachusetts.

 

Every form in my state return is listed as available for efile, yet I get the "Tax Year 2023 transmissions are not available" error.

One theory is that the posting of "available" states and forms is ahead of the actual working implementation of the forms.

Updates are done by TurboTax on Thursday eve /  early Friday morning about 2 am. .

I was told to try again on Friday -- after the software updates are done.

Fo WI, the only thing I could recommend is that you go thru the entire WI interview again, to make sure something new wasn't added....then run the WI review & error check first before attempting to e-file.

 

Not sure about the Business software, but in the regular "Personal" Consumer versions, if you e-filed the Federal part separately before this...then you need to wait for the Fed "acceptance" before you can e-file WI.   But if you haven't e-filed Federal yet, you are supposed to be able to e-file both at the same time.

 

What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)

Might depend on what state you are filing...as noted above GA forms won't be ready for e-filing until the end of next week.

 

Oteh States will have different dates.
