We are sorry to see you are having this problem. NETFILE at the Canada Revenue Agency is not available till February 22, 2021, when the forms will also be available.

 

For more information please see the links below.

Key dates: Tax season 2020

Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven’t been finalized?

 

Thank you for your patience.

It's now March 1 and the forms are still not ready.

Any idea when they will be?

Thanks

@Hockeymum Though the vast majority of forms are available now that NETFILE is open, some may still not be finalized. Please see this TurboTax FAQ for more information: Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized?

Please keep verifying our TurboTax FAQ Why does TurboTax say my forms are locked or haven't been finalized? as we will keep updating this as the forms are unlocked. 

Thank you.

Unfortunately, if you come across locked forms or receive a message saying that forms aren’t finalized when using TurboTax, you will not be allowed to complete the filing of your return.


We understand this is an inconvenience and are working hard to finalize these forms in order to align ourselves with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requirements and include them in our updates.
