What does this mean? You've gotten such an amazing head start on your taxes this year that some of the forms you need to complete your federal return haven't been final

It just means not all federal or state forms are final yet. You can check the links below for the dates that the IRS or state's revenue departments make the forms available. When they are finalized, come back and select the File tab and file as usual.

Note: State tax returns (even if forms are ready) are not accepted until after your Federal return is accepted.  2/15/17 is the acceptance date for tax returns that are claiming Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit.
