Not ready to file

[Cannella29]

You can't proceed further because one or more of your tax forms is currently unavailable. Please check back later.  What does mean ? Never happened in the past. Should be worried, did I do anything wrong ?

We're working hard to finalize these forms to align ourselves with CRA requirements, and we hope to have them ready soon.

You can see a list of Forms that still locked here: Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized?

I got the same message as this customer and when I look at the list of "locked forms that are still not available" from the link you just provided, I don't need any of those, so why am I still unable to send my return?  Why is mine not available either?  You need to give a better answer than "soon".

As per the CRA: The CRA is working diligently to update its systems to reflect the currently enacted capital gains inclusion rate of one-half. However, this update may not be completed when online filing becomes available on February 24, 2025. If you are impacted by this situation, you may avoid processing delays by waiting until the updates are completed in the coming weeks before filing your income tax and benefit return. The CRA will grant relief in respect of late-filing penalties and interest until June 2, 2025, for Individual filers and until May 1, 2025, for Trust filers, to provide additional time for taxpayers reporting capital gains to meet their tax filing obligations.

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

How about Turbo Tax programmers figure out a way for people who don't use the missing forms to file their tax without waiting. Posting some canned answer from CRA is not helping.

[TurboTaxSusan]

@JBPicks Unfortunately, at this time TurboTax has locked forms, and the CRA is advising filers to wait.

I received the same messaging yesterday re forms being locked but (somehow) I was able to Netfile 2 returns.  I received confirmation numbers.  Does this mean they went through and will be processed or are they in the ether?

[TurboTaxAniqua]

@RM1313 If you have received a Netfile confirmation it means that your return has been successfully submitted to CRA.

I agree! I have been able to file some returns but I have one with a T4FHSA (First Home Savings Account). Turbo Tax is telling me that the Schedule 3 Capital Gains/Loss forms is unavailable until the end of March. I do not need this form and it is in fact blank in the return. Turbo tax tells me the issue is with CRA but I beg to differ. Had a Turbo Tax support desk person go through my return with me and stated that I completed everything correctly. There is no reason I should be waiting for Capital Gains to be resolved when I have none to report. 

[TurboTaxAniqua]

@Russell44 Schedule 3 is still locked by CRA & RQ and not finalized by yet. Please refer to this link Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized? 

We do not have any ETA on this yet but as soon a these forms gets finalize we will be updating them in TurboTax for an accurate calculations.

We appreciate your patience.
