I can't get Turbo Tax to e-file. The final review doesn't show any errors.

All of the program updates are up-to-date.

It says "This return has certain forms that can't be e-filed, usually because of tax regulations, so you'll need to file by mail. For more details, select the Review tab, above, and continue through Final Review. To file by mail, select the file tab, continue and select File by Mail."

I don't want to wait for mailing it in.

what forms? certain forms for your return may not yet be final so until they are you can't e-file. Turbotax is waiting for IRS approval so there's nothing it can do at this point. mailing your return with invalid forms may hold up your refund even more. The IRS won't open e-filing until 1/29. Submitting them now and they will just sit on Turbotax servers until that date so you can wait.

since this link for forms availability

https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

for the agency box select US or state.

Thanks for your attempt to help. Unfortunately, I do need to file a Schedule C. Therefore, I cannot delete it in order to e-file successfully.

I am waiting for TurboTax to provide a software update to correct this issue affecting numerous loyal customers.

I decided to just go to H&R Block it took 15 mins. Every time I logged into TT it pushed the date further and further away. Something isn’t right in their system and I guess they not fixing it.

Having the same issue. I have a business so I have to include my Schedule-C. Following this thread in hopes of a real solution getting posted. I’ve filed with Turbo Tax over 10 years and never had an issue e-filing. This may be the last year for TT.

Yup last time I use turbo tax, just spent hours going through all my forms, deleting what wasn't needed, editing things, still didn't work. Can't delete my entire business LOL. Ill wait to see if they fix it in a few days just for ease, but if not im getting my money back and going to HR Block

If you click on the Review tab and go through the interview there will be a screen showing the forms and schedules and the dates they will be available.

also this page will show e-file availability

I have waited until today, keep trying, still failing. Looks like all forms in my return are supported. I removed some forms that weren't necessary. What is going on?

OK, so 1/29 has come and gone...error message is still there. I went through the list of efile not-ready forms, and found 2 that were in my return that I did not need., energy credit and electric vehicle, so I deleted those forms, but still have the error...is there a refresh or reload needed in TT desktop?

I've been getting same messages for 3 days, I've done everything I know to do re installing program to downloading it off turbo tax ,,I still get same messages some forms cant be efiled ect. I've used same program for 15 yrs no problems

I found a very simple solution: I bought the deluxe version of H&R Blocks software and got an instant download. It took me about an hour and I am all done and have E-filed with no issues. My middle finger is up to TurboTax and now I will be an H&R Block tax software customer.

Now I will request a refund from Amazon for TTAX.

Awesome , does past years returns transfer? Or did you have to manually add everything. Either way it sounds like a good plan. Thanks

I'm avoiding the route of completely doing my taxes via a different product at least for now. In the past, I have had a horrible time trying to get software refunds on Amazon. Maybe they are better now. However, while very frustrating, we're only 1 day after the first day to file. I'm OK giving things a week or two before I resort to redoing my taxes in another platform.

Next year though, I will think twice about using TT after all of this.

My turbo tax is the premier and I am not filing any forms that I have not had in the past. It has no errors but says I cannot efile my federal. Something is wrong with the program.

Today is 1/30 and I cannot efile with the same response. I do not have any forms that I have not had in the past. There is something wrong with the program.

Has anyone tried a different Tax software? to get past this glitch?
