The system said the form would be ready in early February but it keeps getting pushed back.

Doesn't look like this form is available yet.

With much frustration, I just mailed our Iowa tax return this morning after attempts to efile failed. Apparently, some issue with IA Form 148 scuttles the process even though on the Iowa Dept. of Revenue site, TurboTax is shown as an approved software and this particular form is included with efile capablility. This resulted in the time and cost associated with printing/copying and mailling the Iowa return along with necessary accompany documentation, including the the Federal return and all 1099's/W-2's. Why did I buy TurboTax if not to avoid this very issue? I have been using Turbo Tax for well more than 20 years. During that time, the weakest element has always been state tax; apparently, that has not changed.

Ok, so according to the Turbotax website, IA 148 was supposed to be ready for efile today, 18 April. And it is.

I was able to successfully efile my return today (though I did need a bit of help with the turbotax since it seemed to think that I had already mailed it in.

I guess they fixed their issue.

Do you have an estimated date that this will become available. Currently the site just keeps pushing it back one week at a time.

I have the same issue, and see that this is being pushed out week after week.

Now my form is saying the 148 will not be available to file electronically until 4/10/2024! Is this accurate and is it a Turbo Tax issue or State of Iowa issue?

It’s a TurboTax issue

Agreed. Multiple delays.

Now Turbo Tax says cannot file electronically due to this form.

The is not a new tax credit in Iowa. I have used it for years.

I am not happy with TurboTax

I am having the same issue with Form IA 148. The Iowa Individual Forms Availability site shows it is available for e-file, but in TurboTax it says it cannot currently be filed electronically. I have used TurboTax for many years and this is very frustrating. Will this be fixed? I do not want to print and file by mail.

I had the same issue. Now it says I can file, but only by mail. Are you having the same issue?

I have gotten the same message about having to file by mail. I paid to efile other Iowa returns and was planning to use the free one with my return which I now can't do. Other tax software services don't seem to have this problem. I have used Turbotax for over 30 years but will be looking elsewhere next year.
