The IRS is opening later than usual this year and some tax forms aren’t ready for processing yet. There is a nationwide delay on these forms, no matter who’s preparing them.
Historically, IRS tax forms start becoming available in January, with a few stragglers (most notably Form 1040X) getting finalized in February.
State tax forms can become available for filing anytime between December and late February, depending on the state and the tax form.
For specific forms and dates, refer to the Forms Availability Table for your TurboTax product - See Related Information below.
