So speaking with a "Rep" who told you that the release would include Form 8915-F bore no fruit, correct? As it doesn't bear any fruit three weeks later. Last year was tough, with the CARES Act, the Reconciliation of UE, Advance Child Credit, and of course the inability to correctly and efficiently resolve any pending tax matters with either a phone contact or correspondence. It's amazing to me, the IRS has had Form 8915 for over 5 years now, from 8915-A to 8915-E, so it is not as if this is a totally new document, or new calculations, and yet on March 4, the community still doesn't have what is desperately needed.  Thank the Lord I had the presence to carryforward enough of the refunds for my clients who choose the CARES act withdrawals to see them through this season and the next when this nightmare ends. SO for me, it's been relatively easy to see a carryover of prior year tax refund and go back to pick up the needed information. And no surprises for the client with the presentation of an unexpected tax bill.  Now, if only INTUIT would get off the ball and provide the Form 8915-F and allow us to march forward with confidence and remain looking the the professionals we are supposed to be. Learned, educated, wise and proficient. Instead, my list grows ever longer of clientelle that will need "revisited" when the form is finally released by INTUIT.  And I don't even want to talk about task scheduler and it's failure this year, or it's "ghosting" and gone.............. What?? And why?? After 25 years with ProSeries and knowing the program inside out, this is the nightmare I never dreamed of having to deal with. Therefore, I'm shopping. I don't need an "early bird" discount, or a lock of my funds or any other enticements. I just need a program that works. Fully. IRS has released this form over a month ago, and INTUIT says they will have it ready within two weeks of final release. Sure, and I bet INTUIT has some oceanfront property for sale in Death Valley also..............at a "pre-development" price, right?  Not after this year, as I will due my diligence and really test-drive the other opportunities after the season ends. It may be more work for me on the front end, test driving and testing, but I am also certain the rewards will be more than satisfying. And most satisfying will be the knowledge that I voted with my financials and sent the message that "it doesn't pay to play".  TO my bretheren in the Service and to those of us who strive to be the "Best we can Be", I feel your pain, your struggles, and I pray for us all. Keep the faith, keep your sanity, and get there the "Fustest with the Mostest".  Drive on, don't mean nothing. Let's tighten our spurs and ride this demon to it's fatigue and demise. Then dust our britches off, smile and have a cold drink to celebrate at the end.  Scouts out............
