I keep receiving the same message, "Wages paid Schedule C - We're updating employee credits for small businesses and farms. We should have this ready by first was the 10th, then the 13th now it says 22nd Please check back with us then." And it keeps pushing back the date. How do I resolve this issue? I need to file.

@PatriciaV noted:  According to the Forms Availability Table, Form 8881, Employee Credits for Small Businesses and Farms is due on February 21, 2024, even if this doesn't seem to apply to your situation. Update your software the next day, run Review again, then try e-filing again. The forms hold should be released.

 

The IRS made several changes to forms related to businesses this year. TurboTax programmers are diligently working to implement these changes and ensure accuracy on all forms for your tax return.

I did this and the problem remains. I have done this every couple of days for the past month and the date continues to be pushed out one week. Today it says the 6th of March it will be ready, but if I check again tomorrow it will say the 7th. I had assurances from your staff that this would be resolved by today the 28th. When will this issue be resolved? I already paid for this service and it seems like it isn't being addressed.

You have the option to report any expenses under Miscellaneous with a custom description. Some businesses use this section to list all expenses rather than filling out the dedicated lines. In the unlikely event that the IRS questions this treatment, you have adequate reason due to the forms delay.

That will affect the calculations for the Qualified Business Income deduction.

I am still having this problem as well. It's now saying Turbotax "should have this ready by 03/03/2024." This has been going on for weeks.

completely unacceptable for turbotax to be taking this long, last time I'll ever use them
