Much of the 2025 TurboTax program is available for entry of tax data. What exactly are you trying to enter?

I am trying to enter 1099-R and all I get is available soon, so when is this going to be done?

The Form 1099-R section is estimated to be finalized and available in TurboTax on 01/21/2026

I cannot understand how a company that has been around so long does not have enough pride to post a comment stating when they’re going to actually have a working copy of the program hundreds of thousands of people have already purchased and owned and expected to work when they purchased it not one comment from TurboTax as far as when their product is going to be complete for most of us that require the 1099R it is incomplete. The date came 21 January 2026 nothing at 3:37 in the afternoon not even a comment from the company this is not right. I will be going to a different tax program next year

thanks

Totally agree, have never had this issue before and like you, the lack of any comments from the company speaks volumes. These "estimates" that have been thrown out by the "experts" are not based on any facts and further add to the disappointment to the situation. The only other option i have heard from turbotax is to pay extra to have them do it. If your people can do it why can't I. This is ridiculous.

Just gonna piggyback on this comment like I have with all the others; this is an issue with a *MULTI-BILLION* dollar company relying on AI to fix problems they might have.

They don't want to hire humans. They will claim they have done so.

But they're relying on OpenAI, and Gemini, and anything the American Federal Government pushes to try and justify their ineptitude.
