Error code states: Form 1099-R: 2024 Disaster Distribution Checkbox- You can't file just yet. This may mean a better tax outcome for taxpayers like you who have 2024 Qualified Disaster Distributions. We can keep working on your tax return and we'll let you know when we can help you finish up your taxes. What does this mean? Do we have an idea of how long I have to wait to file my taxes now?

    Biden signed a law in Dec that is retroactive to 2019 regarding all disasters. We are waiting on federal and state agencies to let us know when we can finalize our forms for you. Please check forms availability here.

    No, you must continue to check back for updates to your TurboTax program. Run all updates to the program when you open it.

     

    You can check forms availability here.

     

    If you have additional information or questions regarding this, please return to Community and we would be glad to help.

    Hi, 

     

    Everyone should contact TurboTax via phone (no matter the long hold time) and request that their calls be escalated, we need to get the attention of their developers. To receive generic post responses regarding this ongoing issue is not acceptable. We work all year around and deserve to file our taxes timely. I have encountered this error message for the last two months (in counting). This is not an issue with their website nor web browser, it's an internal issue that their developers are likely well aware of.

     

    Upon reaching out to TurboTax by phone, if you choose not to withstand their long hold time, everyone should consider posting complaints regarding this issue on their social media walls (as well as send them messages) via the following social media profiles:

    I called days ago, they recommended I go to another filer. I did go to HR Block and ran the numbers. They were the same. With no error message. But, I like my stuff all in one place. So I came back and unchecked the box QD2024 and everything fixed itself. I filed with Turbotax. That worksheet will not save you any money. At least not in my case. I am over 59 1/2 and withdrew for disaster help. However, I don't pay the 10% penalty anyway. I am responsible for the taxes on the withdrawal regardless. Now, if you are not old enough to withdrawal you might have to go elsewhere as they recommended.

    I chatted with a live customer service person this morning and they said the date it will be ready is February 27th.

    Has anyone been able to contact support?  Are we going to be able to file, or should we look to go somewhere else?  Has anyone tested HR Block or any other programs?
