"Your forms will be available soon" message

The forms Im filing are available on the website that lists which are available and when. 

It says the government is still working on finishing up certain tax forms

All I'm filing is a 1040 individual, form 8863 Education Credits. Anyone else having these issues? Is this on turbotax, or my totally competent  government

If you are e-filing, I do see some limitations on the 1040 form. Please see this IRS link, to see if it does apply to your tax return: IRS Available Forms and Limitations.

Both of the forms 1040 ind. and 8863 forms, show available for e-file and print.

 

If this is not the case and you need further assistance, please reply back to this post and we will be happy to assist you.

I'm having the same problem with forms 8863, 8889, CA 540 and CA Individual Schedule CA California Adjustments. I have tried "check for updates" without success.

According to IRS Form 8615 was ready on 1/27/2020. According to Turbo it is still not ready.... we are cutting it too close for comfort.  C'mon Turbo.

I'm getting the message"We can't file your return just yet because the government is still working on finishing up..."  The form that I need is 1040: Individual Schedule A (MI).  I do see this form available in the forms and I've tried to "Updaet Now".  When will this form be available?

I have the same issue with the  "Your forms will be available soon" message.  When I tried to install the manual update, I got a message saying that TurboTax is not installed.  That is not correct.   What should I do now?

I recommend calling us to request a soft push of the software for the federal and state. 

 

Let the agent know you have been trying to update your software but the update is not loading.  They will be able to assist you.
