forms update

BIGPETE
Level 3

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.

I printed a simple 1040 last night (one W-2 and one 1099INT) and it printed without any watermarks.

FWIW  I just printed one and got the same message splattered across the front.

Both my filing copies and customer copies come through clean, no watermark. I cant print my state but that "should" be ready by 01/27. At least I pray.

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)..............

Evidently good clean living will get you clean forms - Garman and I can vouch for that 😜

yea, a remember in prior years a few states getting "stuck" and having to be uninstalled and reinstalled to remove the not final watermarking.

I'll wait and see what happens, I dont have any clients until the end of next week.

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.

Just try to uninstall and re-install 2021 Pro Series and now I have a CLEAN form 1040 without water mark!

It not works If we just run repair update tools.

Best,

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!

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
