it’s tax day and when I try to sign and file my tax return, I get your returns

The IRS hasn't finalized one or more of your forms. Once forms are finalized, you will be able to access this section. Why isn’t it ready? TurboTax knew this day was coming? they should’ve been ready in advance

    You may not be aware, but some forms have not been finalized by the IRS or the states.

     

    Maybe you are waiting for some forms.  Click Review to see if you are missing some forms needed in order to e-file.

     

    Many federal and state forms are not yet available.  Check here for form availability. The dates are subject to change.

     

    Tax form availability tool,

    I went through my forms and it doesn’t apply to any of my forms. This is a TurboTax error

    Click on Review on the left side of the online program screen.  Are any forms listed as not being available for filing?

    I'm dealing with this issue as well. Do we have an updated timeframe on when this will be resolved?

    Use this link to reference when your tax forms will be available. You can search by TurboTax Product and for IRS and State-Specific Forms.

    Not helpful -- according to that link, my form should already be available, however it isn't. I just logged back in and the same message still displays:

     

    It looks like your returns aren't available to print or download yet
    This is because the IRS hasn't finalized some of the forms for your federal return, and New Jersey hasn't finalized some of the forms for your state return.
     
    Turbotax needs to fix this right away -- if the form is available but the software won't generate it, then the issue is entirely on their end. We need an update as soon as this matter is resolved.
