I bet it is because of the election. Just an old persons reality.

nope. even distributors of pro software wait till near year end to issue it. This way they can include any changes in the tax laws, court decisions, IRS pronouncements, etc. It's also a question of economics - fewer updates.

elections are not the reason because the apps come out around the same time in non-election years.

Not sure why you are saying your question was not answered. This is a user forum, where questions are answered by other users like yourself. Sometimes you have to wait. The 2024 software will not be available until late November 2024, and you will have to wait until early 2025 to actually file a 2024 return.

Or are you asking a 2023 return you are filing in 2024?

It is July 2024. I have completed my 2023 taxes, and don't need software for this!

Why can we not get 2024 software and slowly start working on it?

Even when the software is released, there are a number of updates; what is the difference in releasing 2024 software now?

I can use 2023 software, but then I will have to redo everything with 2024 software!

My guess...The election will effect taxes. Just a guess.

The software changes each year to comply with the latest changes in tax law. Even in November it will not be a final version and it is usually close to February before filing can start.
