I check the referenced document which took me to this:
https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_mac_individual.html

According to that table the Energy Efficient vehicle form is already available for both printed version and efile.
Yet when I get to that section in Turbo tax it tells me "The energy-efficient vehicles section isn't ready yet."

So, I think there is a bug.

Not all forms relating to electric vehicles are ready yet. To check the availability of Forms 8936 (Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit) and 8834 (Qualified Electric Vehicle Credit), please click the below link:

@IGISE

Hi, thanks for your reply. So the problem as others have mentioned is that the page you linked to says that both forms 8936 and 8834 are ready and available for TurboTax and TurboTax online users, but when we actually go to the energy efficient vehicles section it says the form is not ready yet.

Something doesn’t match up between what the documentation you provided says and what is actually available in TurboTax. Can you please give us insight on which side the problem is on and what is being done to resolve it?

Looks like the Form 8936, Qualified Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit will be available 02/12/2020. (according to this link: https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_mac_individual.html)

Form 8834 is available for qualified electric vehicles. Why that one is not working?!

Plug in hybrid form is not available but electric vehicle form 8834 is available. TurboTax doesn’t work regardless of what kind of clean vehicle you got. I have full electric vehicle and it should work.

Very disappointed to see this not working still even online.

and what’s the status on 8936? No mention of it anymore.

It should be available 24 hours after the IRS approves TurboTax to use the form. Currently, the IRS has not finalized the form. Here is the IRS web page to check the status of form 8936: Available Forms and Limitations. Scroll down to Form 8936.

I called TurboTax today and they said it should be available by 11:59pm tonight, however the official IRS website says the form won’t be available until Friday, 2/14. No indication of whether it will be available by beginning of the day or not until the end of the day on 2/14.
