Under Forms Availability for LA IT-540-2D, it says "Historically has been released within fifteen days of final version availability". If LA published its final forms on Jan 23 of this year, 15 days marks this week. We should see approvals for this shortly. Thanks for your patience! 

The approval for e-filing and printed forms go through different processes.
It's common for states to block non-final forms for printing in the instance that they're sent in on accident. Each state agency has a timeline for approvals, so you might see a difference in forms availability depending on the client you're assisting in January and February.

If you're interested in how the timeline works, I pulled some info from last years post: Forms Availability Frequently Asked Questions:
"Once forms are ready, our developers work to make sure the forms in the program are updated, including all related detail input, barcodes (when applicable), and form calculations that require adjustments.... in addition to any new business rules and updated schema formatting. The forms are then tested on our end for accuracy and sent to the IRS/State Agency where they undergo an approval process....they test the transmission of the data to verify it meets the e-file schema requirements." I hope this helps!
