What is the estimated time frame for software updates related to the budget bill extenders (HR 1892) passed 2/9/2018?

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

Since the spending bill with the tax extenders has just been passed and signed into law, both the IRS and tax preparation software companies have to change various forms, schedules, worksheets and calculations to conform with the extenders in the bill.  It will be several weeks before anything is finalized at the IRS and with the TurboTax software which must also be approved by the IRS after they have completed their own system configurations.
