We have been trying to file & pay our taxes since the first week of January. Turbo Tax is not letting us file because they say they do not have a form ready.

We have been trying to file & pay our taxes since the first week of January. Turbo Tax is not letting us file because they say they do not have a form ready. What is going on? When will the form be ready? We need to file because we are already running behind.

Well ..... the IRS will not even begin to accept e-files until tomorrow on January 23, so if you filed before that you return would only have been sitting on a server.  

Not sure what you mean by "we are already running behind."   

Lots of  federal and/or state forms are not ready yet.   You have to e-file your federal return first, and then your state.  The state will not accept a return until the IRS has accepted your federal return. The IRS begins to accept returns on January 23.  If you are waiting for federal forms you will also have to wait to file your state.

Did you note that this link brings you to an interactive availability tool which is really cool ... it has the fed and all states included ... you can even sort each column or call for a form directly.

Use this TurboTax website for Federal and State Forms availability - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product...
