No returns will be accepted by TT for efiling before 1/6/17
(or later) and the IRS will not start
processing returns until 1/23/17 so come back in Jan to complete the
return but don’t be in a rush. If you do efile before the IRS starts to
officially process returns on the 23rd your return will sit in a holding pool
from which you cannot get your return back to change anything for any reason.
It will be stuck there until the IRS either accepts or rejects the return. If
the IRS accepts the return you will need to amend it which can take 16+ weeks
to process.
The
program should list the forms that are not yet ready and give you the chance to
sign up for an email alert when they are ready.
