Why isn't Turbotax 2025 ready to use now so Turbotax clients can preplan before year end?

It's frustrating to not have Turbotax 2025 available now and to make it so difficult for your clients to get answers about that situation.

can't speak for Intuit but the 'why' is too many changes for the big bill and their focus is a working product for filing based on form specifications from IRS, rather than estimation tool.  expect many updates the coming weeks/months.  see this thread for advice - most features say Jan/Feb dates.  You may be able to use forms mode for areas where the interview screens are not ready.
