The Schedule D is on IRS.gov, so why is it not on Turbo Tax? Need the schedule to determine tax on large unexpected capital gains received on Dec 30. Need to figure tax in order to file an estimated tax on Jan. 15th.

The IRS instructions for Schedule D and Form 8949 are still for tax year 2019. Until the IRS finalizes the instructions for tax year 2020 TurboTax cannot provide a Schedule D or Form 8949 in the software for filing.

Go to this TurboTax website for IRS forms availability - https://care-cdn.prodsupportsite.a.intuit.com/forms-availability/turbotax_fed_online_individual.html

I have the downloaded 2020 Premier version of the software and form 8949 does not appear as an available form. The list in the link that shows forms and dates of availability shows this form as being available. Previously, the link had this available on 1/14/21, which is now past. Is there a problem with updating the software or is the form still not available.

The Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets, is available and will be included in your tax return if you enter an investment sale in the Investment Income section under Wages & Income. The Form 8949 is populated by the software from the investment sale information on Schedule D.
