The only thing sure in life is death and taxes.  Intuit said it would be ready by 3/31 so you can take that however you want as far as being sure.  Nobody here has any insider information to either confirm or deny that date.  And nobody here knows why ProSeries dropped the ball in getting the form ready to roll.  The form was late in being finalized by the IRS but other softwares had a workable form to play with prior to the finalization date.  Why Intuit didn't think along those lines is anybody's guess.
