When will form 2555 be available? This is absurd that we have been waiting when this form is available with the IRS. Why is is not on TurboTax? Super frustrated!

We have never had this issue with TuboTax in previous years but I will say I may never use this system again.  My business is being held up due to not filing.

According to the Forms Availability table for TurboTax, Form 2555 will be available on 2/18/2021.  I'm linking you to this table below.

A form can be ready in paper format with the IRS but not yet approved for e-file or approved for use by a specific software engine.  This is very common, particularly in the early days of filing season. 

 

Form 2555 isn't a very common form, so it doesn't get top priority.  Also, most people filing this form have a June 15 deadline not April 15 giving more reason to push it back. 

 

Patience, it's coming.
