Tax form 7202 can be efiled with H and R block online. I’ve used turbo tax for several years but made the switch last night. Due to the fact that turbo tax doesn’t support efile of form 7202 I actually liked useing H and R block better. Turbo tax you have lost a loyal customer and all his family that he helps do there taxes every year for.

Turbo tax estimated date for the tax form 7202 T is 01/28/21 to mail in but it says can’t be efiled

The form 7202 SP is the Spanish version of the form.

 

For TurboTax CD/Download, the form is supported but for other versions of TurboTax Online does not support this form. 

 

At this time, the form 7202 cannot be e-filed because it specifically states in the instructions to "Attach to your return".  See this link for the instructions to prepare the Form 7202.  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i7202--dft.pdf

I do not understand why I am being asked for this form. I was not self employed. There seems to be an error on the application.

Form 7202T is not complete and ready for use yet.  There must have been a question on sick leave where you answered yes.  You did say that you are not self employed so if you are sure you do not need it then here is the process to delete it.

 

How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?

  1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools.
  3. In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
  4. Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet in the list and follow the instructions.

Just a reminder that Use Form 7200 to request an advance payment of the tax credits for qualified sick and qualified family leave wages and the employee retention credit that you will claim on the following formsForm 941, Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return.

Form 7202 is tentatively scheduled to be available in TurboTax on February 11th.  Please see the TurboTax Help article IRS forms availability table for TurboTax individual (personal) tax products for any future updates.

It will not be supported in e-file, so it must be printed, and you'd need to mail your return if the form applies to you.

If you were self-employed, you can use Form 7202 to figure an amount to claim for qualified sick and family leave equivalent credits on your 2020 tax return.

Schedule C says to attach to return. I don't understand the difference.

It is no longer in draft at of 2/11/2020.  When will it be available for e-filing using TurboTax?  Mailing in our returns should not be an option based on our how our USPS is functioning!!!

I had the same issue but H& R block was so rude to me so I decided to stay with turbotax. When I asked 3 different ppl at h&r block about the 7202 form they had no idea what I was talking about Lol taxes specialist okay. It's also being said online that the irs will be taking longer to get you your refund when this form is with your taxes & to amend later or send as pdf. So idk who's telling the truth. Turbotax please give pol a straight answer your on thin ice with me forsure!

Your system let me print off my state tax forms and then allowed me to e-file me federal, which included the 7202 form. I have downloaded my Federal return to my computer and the 7202 form shows up in PDF format. Please explain why i was charged and then was told that i couldn't e-file and then your system allowed me to e-file with that form? what is going to happen to my tax return?

Is this because the IRS does not allow the form to be eFiled, or because of a shortcoming in the TurboTax software? Others posters are reporting being able to eFile with form 7202 by going to software other than TurboTax.

Turbo Tax is the only company Im hearing of thats telling people 7202 cant be efiled. Ive been a loyal customer for many years but switched to Tax Act and efiled with form 7202 with no problem whatsoever. You guys need to fix this or youll be losing a lot of customers.

The 'Experts' keep dodging the direct question:

 

Is this inability to eFile when a return contains form 7202 because the IRS does not allow the form to be eFiled, or because of a shortcoming in the TurboTax software?

 

It is a simple question. Re-posting the company's talking point about this is not the same as answering the above question. I guest the refusal to answer IS the answer.

 

Also, the IRS recommends AGAINST filing a return by printing/mailing. The IRS recommends e-Filing. So, the Intuit / TurboTax position is that we must go against IRS recommendations -- simply because Intuit cannot (or will not) come up with a solution to allow returns to be eFiled if they contain form 7202.

 

It CAN be done -- because other companies are doing it with their tax software.

 

Get your act together Intuit.
