My 2021 PS software is all updated (as of 1/20/22) and I don't have any error messages regarding forms not be finalized. When I open my personal 1040 the yellow bar says "this form is NOT EF READY but can be printed". But when I print up my 1040 it says in bold letters "DO NOT FILE" and "FORM NOT FINAL" I am hopeful that once E-file opens up that this issue will disappear. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
FWIW I just printed one and got the same message splattered across the front.
hopefully it corrects by 24th or close to it. I remember doing something specifically for illinois but that had to do with that stupid yellow bar (if memory serves)..............
exactly!! I am sure it will disappear but I believe you are right. Delete the file and re-install was the fix.
An annual problem which "should" fix itself. I talked to Intuit this morning as they had sent out an alert that beginning 1/19 you could transmit. The alert was quickly taken down. I also talked to support and they had me rerun all updates. This was not a fix. Last year this problem was only corrected with an update on the day efiling began.
Yep, I just uninstalled the 1040, then reinstalled it, now the copies are clean.
THIS is why they need to ditch that automatic updating in the background BS!
You can't complain if you don't vote:
Thank you everyone for the great advice. I uninstalled and then reinstalled 2021 pro series and all my watermarks went away!! I just wish we could go one season without some sort of big glich in the software. When I contacted our pro series 'experts' they had no clue what was wrong or how to fix it. Surprise...surprise
Great catch, @Just-Lisa-Now- and @BIGPETE. This is the first I'm hearing about this but I'll be sure to let others know! Thank you!!
Yes! You are the first to bring light to this. Thank you!!
Thank God for the Lounge 😬
