No., The form 7202 may not be available yet in Turbo Tax as the IRS is still finalizing some 2020 tax forms and will start processing income tax returns (e-file) on February 12, 2020. The form 7202, Credit for Sick Leave and Family Leave for certain Self-employed, effective April 1, 2020, applies to a leave taken between April 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 due to Covid-19. When available, you may follow the steps  below to add it:

  1. Login to Turbo Tax.
  2. On the left side of the screen, click Tax Tools, then Tools,
  3. Under Tools Center, scroll down and click delete a form.
  4. Under Review Form List, scroll down until you see Form 7202, click go.

See, when will my forms be ready, link.

TurboTax is still waiting for the IRS to finalize form 7202.  The release dates given by the IRS are estimates and can change at any time. The forms are usually released by the projected date, but the past year has slowed the process down considerably. 

 

Please continue to check when will my forms be ready for updates.

Form 7202 is not available for e-filing, according to our form availability sheet.

 

To print and mail your return, please follow these instructions if you're using TurboTax Online and review this article if you're using TurboTax Desktop

 

If you wish to e-file without the credit you will need to delete the form. How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? How do I delete a tax form in the TurboTax CD/Download software?

Why is TurboTax not able to e-file this but other platforms are able to?  This burden shouldn't be placed on paying customers.  When is this going to be fixed?

This really lazy by Intuit, as you said other online tax filing solutions allow to efile this form.

 

The IRS website even gives a guideline for how to do it for software vendors.

 

I already spent my money and live abroad and now have to paper file while relying on the US Postal system ....

Self-employed individuals use form 7202 to figure the amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent credits under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.

 

The IRS will be allowing filers with the 7202 form to have the ability to e-file their return. We expect to have e-filing available for form 7202 on 03/11/2021(approximate date). If you would like to e-file, you will need to wait until the program has been updated.

Is that an official turbo tax response, that we can efile form 7202 if we wait until March 11?

TurboTax had a program update today (3/4/2021) when I opened it -- after the update, it allowed me to Efile with my 7202!

 

Intuit:  I was pretty upset with you initially about not being able to E-File with a 7202 in the return...but you finally came thru for everyone on this issue and you deserve praise for that. Good job!

 

Thanks again...
