IRS updated the process. Why hasn't turbotax updated their software?

It is Monday. The law was only signed on FRIDAY. It has barely been an entire business day. Although, I am certain folks have been working all weekend on it.

These things take time, it is not just TurboTax that has to make adjustments. The IRS software also has to be updated. The guidance is for paper filers. If you want to file that way, have at it... best of luck to you.

You are asking for something that is absurd. It is absolutely ridiculous to be demanding something like that this quickly. Get over yourself. It won't take long, but it will take longer than ONE FLIPPING DAY.

Dawn C. Is there way to close this post? No further response are required. Your response was enough.

You posted in a user-to-user public forum. So, you get answers from other users. That's how it works. "update or lose customers" is definitely a "demand." Software can't be updated on what "might be" coming. Changes were made all the way up until hours before this thing was signed. In addition, the changes have to be specific to the IRS regulations, forms, and specific interactions that the IRS provides after THEY have a chance to see the law.

So, yes, your post is demanding and ABSURD so soon after the change. OF COURSE they will update the software, just as soon as they can. Again, get over yourself and your demanding attitude.
