Why do i have to wait to efile my maine state tax return

The Maine state tax forms for tax year 2023 are scheduled to be available on 02/08/2024.

Go to this TurboTax website for federal and state forms availability - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product...

Can you give us the message from TurboTax? Remember that we in the Community cannot see your private tax data.

 

DoninGA may certainly be correct as to the reason for not being able to file (and you don't want to file before the forms are ready), but please note the following if you received a message about your SIMPLE IRA.

I suspect that you will have to wait for TurboTax to be updated. On January 8, 2024 (i.e., just over two weeks ago) the IRS released a notice describing many changes required to implement the Secure Act 2.0 - I believe that this is what "We're updating how SEP and simple plan contributions are reported on the tax return based on new guidance from the IRS." is referring to.

 

Indeed, Section 601 of the Secure Act 2.0 refers specifically to Simple and SEP Roth IRAs. Code S in box 12 refers to how to handle a SIMPLE plan.

 

These last minute IRS (and law) changes inescapably cause delays on the part of TurboTax and other tax processors.

 

It will take time for TurboTax to understand all the ramifications of this IRS Notice and then code and test the changes. The IRS is not open for filing until January 29th so you have some time to wait.
