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.

    The Form 8283 Noncash Charitable Contributions for tax year 2024 is estimated to be available for filing on 02/06/2025.

    Go to this TurboTax website for federal and state forms availability - https://form-status.app.intuit.com/tax-forms-availability/formsavailability?albRedirect=true&product=Turbotax_online&bu=cg

    Even tho the last time (about 2/3/24) i loaded ttax sftware the msg was that 8283 wouldnt be ready until 2/13/24.  i did not reload turbotax sw and kept getting 8283  not ready until 2/13.  But on 2/5 nite i decided to reload ttax sftware and 8283 was ready and i completed my filing to irs.

    I was finally able to submit my taxes. The problem wasn’t the form 8283. It was more so the way I was filing my Non-cash charitable deductions.  Once I saw that everyone was reporting that  the form was indeed available, i realized that my issue was that  my charitable deductions were above $5,000.  Not officially providing any tax advice here but I ended up having to modify the value of my goods to below $5000 which meant I had to devalue some of my items. The IRS now requires individuals to authenticate the value of their goods if above $5000, by having the document signed by the charity receiving the goods. Once I did this,  my submissions both State and Federal were able to be filed electronically. Where before TurboTax was telling me I needed to have the document signed and mailed.  My return has been sent and was also accepted by both State and federal that same day. . I’m still a bit disgruntled with TurboTax because their customer service was extremely lacking where I was supposed to get a call back from a supervisor but never did. Not good. With this horrible experience, I probably will not use TT next year.  Good luck.  I hope this helps someone.
