When will form 8915-e be available to file electronically with TurboTax? It's been listed as live for a few days on irs.gov. Any timeline on this?

From previous questions, the estimated date to be able to file the form was today- yet, it's not available to file.

Below is a link showing the updated dates for all forms available via TurboTax.  Originally TT stated that the 24th would be the day, looks like it got pushed back a day.

Also remember they are in Arizona Time so if you are on the East Coast it will be 2-hours later for whenever they activate the form for official use

The federal 8915-e shows on the TurboTax list of Expected Forms Availability that it is currently available.

You will need to close your return, update the software and then re-load your return and update it to the software.

The Form 8915-E is the "Qualified 2020 Disaster Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (Use for Coronavirus-Related and Other Qualified 2020 Disaster Distributions)",  This was a special COVID provision put in place for the year and it took IRS a little while longer to release to the website and the software developers.

Here is the link to the TurboTax List of Expected Availability of Federal Forms:

ERROR or BUG in code. Getting message Form 8915D-T: Your calculations can not be completed. Reference Code: 0-753-120 and its throwing me in a loop. 

I'm not filing a 8915D. I'm filing 8915E ONLY. I did not take a disaster relief in 2019. Only 2020. When I look at the list of forms available in my tax return to delete, I only see 8915E-T.

TurboTax has worked hard with the IRS to be able to e-file form 8915-E.  Since this will require programming adjustments for both the IRS and TurboTax, it will be a few weeks before these changes are made.  If you wish to file this form, you have the following options:

1. Mail in your return now and not wait until the form is available to e-file.
2. E-file your return without the form, and then file an amended return with the form attached to it (amended returns now also can be e-filed for greater convenience).
3. Wait until the form is available in TurboTax and e-file your entire return at once.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on how to do this.

You must have answered "yes" to the wrong disaster question.    The 8915-E form is related to the COVID question.

Delete the 1099-R and re-enter.

This list https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_online_individual.html shows that the 8915E is available to e-file. If there is in fact additional programming to be done the list should be updated with a new availability date. That would prevent needless deleting forms and resubmitting forms to try and get rid of the error. 

If I submit my tax return without form 8915E I have to pay money. If I submit it with, I get money back. Its better to just wait until the programming is completed.

The 8915-E is available for e-file and not additional programing is necessary for Federal.

Some states are not complete but that is not due to the 8915-E form.

I went to the forms list to see if I could delete form 8915D (which is 2019 disaster relief) and it doesn't exist in my return. Its asking me to fix an error in a form that doesn't exist. I've deleted and reentered my 1099's multiple times. I've called Intuit twice. 

There is simple a bug that needs to be fixed.
