Question

do we know when updates to form 8853 will be completed

federal return was rejected because of updates pending to form 8853

The updates to Form 8853, Long Term Care Contracts, were completed on February 14, 2025. You can go ahead and open your return, review it for errors, and resubmit the return for electronic filing.

I had the same problem--could not file return because of Form 8853 was incorrect. I was told it was fixed on 2/14 but I just tried to file today 2/18 and it is still not fixed and I cannot file my return. What is going on?

We’re currently working to resolve this issue. Please see the TurboTax help article below to sign up for progress updates.

Why is Form 8853 Line 21 improperly calculating?
