What does it me once federal forms have been finalized.

This means the TurboTax program has enough information to let you prepare your returns, but some forms are not ready (available) for TurboTax to e-file or file by mail. This will change, depending on the form involved - different forms may have different "Available" dates.

Many, but not all, Federal tax forms have been  approved and made available.

See Forms  Availability  (Federal) for updates 

Most state tax forms won't be approved and made available until late in January.   Also, it is possible some states may not start accepting e-filed returns until February or March.

See Forms Availability Table for TurboTax State (except Business) for updates.

When is the expected date for 2020 forms to be ready so taxes can be filed?
