Forms not ready

I am getting the error below when trying to Netfile.  We are now March 12th, 2025.  This is not early March.  When will the forms be finalized?

"One or more of the forms required to complete your return are not ready yet.  We've been working hard on making sure your're getting the most-up-to-date and accurate tax forms.  We'll have the final forms ready by early March so you can come back then to finish filing your return"

All the forms are unlocked as of 20th of March, 2025, and you will be able to print/save/Netfile. We appreciate your patience.

@Network_Corporal Schedule 3 is still locked by CRA and not finalized by CRA 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.

I was told early March all forms would be updated. They weren't. I was told March 15 everything would work ok. Tried today, not working. Called and was told March 20 is the date it will work. Not sure I believe that. The program is totally useless if I can't use it.

@sunirome 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, please update your software. (Help>Update) If that doesn't work, please try reinstalling it. It will not delete your saved returns. You can download the current version of TurboTax Desktop edition here: Choose the current TurboTax Desktop edition you need (for Windows).

This should be ready next week-—you should be able to file by Thursday next week; if it's sooner, we will advise.

I tried again this morning March 26th, still comes with Unable to Net file returns error code 95365! Same issue as before. Very frustrating! I have never had this problem before using the “Standard” Turbo Tax that we have probably used since it came out on the market! Never any hitches! I have cross checked accuracy of data! 
There are so many articles posted claiming it’s fixed, not fixed! 
Why can’t Turbo Tax email clients with current status? They have our address’s! 
There has been suggestions that I may need to upgrade my version for Standard, but it has always worked before with small amount of investments that have T3 slips.

 

looks like I may need to look at different tax software …

 

Please advise

Try this workaround: enter 100% ownership at the top and then half of all values into boxes for each person. (I also only entered capital gains in box 53, using the same value as line 21, half the total, instead of dividing the time periods.).

Then the values for line 68140 on T936 were correct and agreed with Schedule 3 line 17600, and try to file.

 

We are aware of this issue, and our development team is working on a resolution. We appreciate your patience.

 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
