When will the 2018 Illinois State forms be finalized? I am getting a DO NOT FILE watermark on the printed IL-1040...?
I updated my software (2/4/2019) and tried the manually update the superpatch file also. The IL-1040 form still has the DO NOT FILE, FORM NOT FINAL watermark on the printed return that I need to mail in. When will this form be finalized? The state schedule online says the Illinois printed is already "available."
My federal and Maryland state have already been e-filed and accepted. Illinois is the only one I have pending now....
Do you have an Intuit account?

You should contact Support at https://support.turbotax.intuit.com/contact/
Plus there is this.
Possible work around if you want to try.
See near the bottom of the following post.

Try at your own risk.
So far it is working for me.
Just make sure you save the deleted files (folder) in case you have restore them.

Before trying this, I called the support line twice and they couldn't give any useful advice. They tried having me uninstall and download the software, but that did nothing. Finally, they recommended I call the Illinois Dept of Rev which we know is bologna. They can't resolve TT problems.
I hope Intuit resolves this programming issue in their software because I have seen multiple cases of this (for multiple states). If this isn't publicly addressed, next year I'll be moving on to a different tax prep program.
Thanks again to all that chimed in!

That is the second time I heard that TT Support suggested to call Illinois Dept of Rev to fix a TT problem.

Support had said in the original conversation that I might have to try reinstalling TurboTax to correct the issue, if it persisted after their efforts to correct it.
I installed the CD program on another laptop (an ASUS - original is Lenovo - both Windows 10 Home). I registered Turbotax installation again, and closed it after it was all updated. Took a copy of my saved 2018 TurboTax Federal and State file off the Lenovo, placed in on the main screen of my ASUS laptop, and opened it up. It updated the Illinois forms. I proceeded with the file my state taxes and the forms came up with without the "DO NOT FILE, FORM NOT FINAL" watermarks. Printed them out and also printed out the tax forms for my files. Reinstalling program apparently fixed the watermark issue. Hope this info helps.....

If you did not install it, how did you get it on your computer?
Are you using the Desktop (CD installation) version or the Online version?

I mentioned in my post on (2-17-19) that TurboTax suggestedthat I might have to remove and reinstall the software to correct the issue, if update patches didn't work.
I (re)installed the original CD disk version I purchased from Amazon on another computer I owned, after the latest patches installed on the original computer failed to remove the watermarks (registered reinstall just as original installation).
I took my "saved TurboTax files" of my taxes off the original computer and opened them up on the other computer. The updated state software on the other computer removed the watermarks on the state forms, and software allowed me access state forms to print for filing by mail (or efile if you prefer) and also print/PDF-save both Illinois State and Federal forms for my files. This is still not possible as of (2-18-19) on the original computer - watermarks are still there, and state filing forms are not available for printing or efile.
FYI - original computer is 3 yr old Lenovo running Win 10 Home. The <1 yr old ASUS computer I (re)installed the original purchase TurboTax CD disk also runs Win 10 Home.
Might try contacting TurboTax by following online procedure mentioned here, which will get you a phone number and reference number when calling - if you are afraid of uninstalling and reinstalling TurboTax software on your computer. I found contacting them to be less than helpful, and glad I recalled the Rep mentioned might have to uninstall/reinstall to resolve the issue. I did have the other computer to try this on, but don't see why uninstalling/reinstalling on a computer wouldn't provide the same results.
