In TT, there is a three step process to complete, pay and file your taxes. I have successfully completed steps # 1 and # 2, however Step # 3 is not available. The reason being "IRS hasn't finalized a form....". The form is 8283. When will this form be finalized, such that, I can complete Step # 3 and file. I'd like to do so today, the start of the official IRS tax filing day. Thank you.

It appears the form is finalized on the IRS website. Not sure why TurboTax doesn't have it! Very frustrating.

Now the date for form 8283 has been changed to 2/13/2025.

Ridiculous! I'm not using TT next year. Have used them about 15 years. They are pending my State filing (refund) because of a Federal form.

Very frustrating to have paid for filing and then not be able to file today because of the delay in form 8283. Very misleading by TurboTax and frustrating as I've never had this issue with TurboTax in all the years I have been using them.

MarBTrina

Completely agree! They should've revealed a delay BEFORE we paid!

TurboTax is not being truthful. The IRS has no issues with this form. Turbotax just hasnt updated it in their system. I transferred all my information from TurboTax to HRBlock and filed my taxes yesterday. It was accepted by the IRS the same day. Turbotax should be ashamed for lying to its customers.

Congratulations! I explored other tax application options, as well. Great to hear of your success with HRBlock. I'll definitely be switching over next year. Turbo Tax has lost, or will lose, a lot of loyal long termed customers over this I'm sure.

I am right there with you all....I have been using Turbo Tax for over 20 years. Did not like that they made me pay and THEN told me the form was not ready and would be on 2/6....and then move it out to 2/13....shady tactics there, especially when other companies are cheaper and ready to file.

This needs to be quick to fix or I will dispute charge and go with another company.

Everyone that is getting this message from turbo tax that form 8283 won't be finalized until 2/13/25: switch to HR Block. There was no issue filing with them. My return was accepted this morning

How did you handle charitable donations? I use ItsDeductible and gave 10 PDF pages of 2024 donations. I couldn’t find a way in HR Block to just put “various” and attach a PDF breakdown. Also couldn’t find a way to export from ItsDeductible to Excel.

I had to enter them in one at a time which was a pain but I figured it was better than waiting for turbo tax to keep pushing the date out

I have the same issue. I've been using TurboTax for several years. I actually paid and thought my forms would be processed 2/2/2025 but then the error came up that indicated that the filing could not be finalized because the form was not yet approved by the IRS. I will definately reconsider using TT next year and make sure there are no issues first. Don't appreciate there being a problem that is not communicated until after they have been paid for said service!

This is a downright lie. Unsure why they are doing this, what do they have to gain. I have used TT since the early 90's. My wife is a tax accountant and 8283 was released from the IRS to all tax software programs, including the one there firm uses on 1/30/25 in a release. I guess it is time to move from them as this has been an issue with them the last 3-4 years. We will never get them to make changes, but our $$ will affect them going forward.

I just checked the "Tax form availability" page at the following link, and Intuit states the form is "Ready for e-file". Which isn't true if the non-cash contributions exceed $500. https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

It says 02/13 on the intuit site now. 😕😕

bring2bear

This isn't the first time TurboTax has delayed my filing because they don't have their act together and they blame it on the IRS. Despite 20 years of using TurboTax, this will be my last year.
