In TT, there is a three step process to complete, pay and file your taxes. I have successfully completed steps # 1 and # 2, however Step # 3 is not available. The reason being "IRS hasn't finalized a form....". The form is 8283. When will this form be finalized, such that, I can complete Step # 3 and file. I'd like to do so today, the start of the official IRS tax filing day. Thank you.
The Form 8283 Noncash Charitable Contributions for tax year 2024 is estimated to be available for filing on 02/06/2025.

TurboTax is not being truthful. The IRS has no issues with this form. Turbotax just hasnt updated it in their system. I transferred all my information from TurboTax to HRBlock and filed my taxes yesterday. It was accepted by the IRS the same day. Turbotax should be ashamed for lying to its customers.

It appears the form is finalized on the IRS website. Not sure why TurboTax doesn't have it! Very frustrating.
Now the date for form 8283 has been changed to 2/13/2025.
Thanks! Now it shows 2/13. I've never encountered this issue before—what could I be doing wrong? Is there a way to skip this step?
The worst part is that the form itself hasn't changed...the IRS made minor changes to the way the rules for the form were written.
I am *thisclose* to just using something else. 😠
This is total BS. Ive used turbo tax for 25 years and have never had to wait this long for form 8283. Other onlione tax programs have already made form 8283 available to their users. Delaty, delay, delay, this is ridiculous, foirst it was 1/23, then it was 1/26, then 2/8, now its 2/134. What the hell is going on TT? This is the last time I use TT for my online taxes.
Good morning,
I, as well, am a long time customer using Turbo Tax many years. This is nothing short of ridiculous. And, I'm appalled if, the day is moved out until 2/13/2025 or beyond. There was NOT a change in the form, it was a new law mandating that the 8283 total cannot be more than 30% of your AGI. This is a calculation NOT a form change. I will gladly calculate my own, if Turbo Tax opens up Step # 3 allowing us to file. Turbo Tax, please listen, you are potentially about to lose many of your valued customers. And, I for one already paid thinking I was about to file, if I know seek other options I'll be requesting a FULL REFUND asap. Everyone knows, the earlier you file, the most likely you are to receive a refund earlier. PLEASE, please Turbo Tax, get your act together!!!
Also worth noting TT that with the current administration our tax refunds may be further delayed by staffing shortages or worse just not paid….please get this form added asap (I wish they actively used these forums…!!
Very frustrating to have paid for filing and then not be able to file today because of the delay in form 8283. Very misleading by TurboTax and frustrating as I've never had this issue with TurboTax in all the years I have been using them.
Completely agree! They should've revealed a delay BEFORE we paid!
Ridiculous! I'm not using TT next year. Have used them about 15 years. They are pending my State filing (refund) because of a Federal form.
All form availability can be reviewed and check at the link posted below. This link will provide when form 8283 is available and you can view if any changes to the release date occurs.

Congratulations! I explored other tax application options, as well. Great to hear of your success with HRBlock. I'll definitely be switching over next year. Turbo Tax has lost, or will lose, a lot of loyal long termed customers over this I'm sure.
Britney -
This is ridiculous. This form is available and the date continues to be pushed back. Why? Many of us are anxious to file and have already paid turbo tax. We won't be using turbo tax again if this isn't rectified asap. I will also put a stop payment on my card and just go elsewhere for this year too.
That is really not the answer people want though. And I checked that link on my phone and can’t see the form in question…not sure if that is an issue viewing on my phone though.
its a simple question - why the 3 week delay with constant push out…HR have it available/IRS have it available, I’ve already paid and can’t file now…this is really nuts and frustrating.
I am right there with you all....I have been using Turbo Tax for over 20 years. Did not like that they made me pay and THEN told me the form was not ready and would be on 2/6....and then move it out to 2/13....shady tactics there, especially when other companies are cheaper and ready to file.
This needs to be quick to fix or I will dispute charge and go with another company.
Everyone that is getting this message from turbo tax that form 8283 won't be finalized until 2/13/25: switch to HR Block. There was no issue filing with them. My return was accepted this morning
How did you handle charitable donations? I use ItsDeductible and gave 10 PDF pages of 2024 donations. I couldn’t find a way in HR Block to just put “various” and attach a PDF breakdown. Also couldn’t find a way to export from ItsDeductible to Excel.
I have the same issue. I've been using TurboTax for several years. I actually paid and thought my forms would be processed 2/2/2025 but then the error came up that indicated that the filing could not be finalized because the form was not yet approved by the IRS. I will definately reconsider using TT next year and make sure there are no issues first. Don't appreciate there being a problem that is not communicated until after they have been paid for said service!
That information should have been provided by TurboTax prior to payment for services expecting that the return would be filed. Your information is not only unhelpful, it is misleading.
This link would be a lot more helpful if it didn’t change every few days.
For moving to HR, is it on the web, a download, etc.?
Do they itemize each donation like TT seemingly used to (x amount of shoes, x amount per charity, x amount of shirts, etc.)? How easy is that process and does HR ask for anything aside from the usual name of place, address, etc.? How much did it end up costing, if you don't mind me asking?
