The instructions on this form are final per the IRS.  I am not seeing any changes that affect the calculations and I have quite a few returns held up for this, but I am going to go ahead and ignore the diagnostic and move forward with e-filing the returns.

I will say that during tax season time is limited and having to get on the IRS website, check for form approval and read through them to make sure nothing has changed is not something I have time for right now.  I only did it because my tax clients were getting pretty annoyed.  I feel like it should not be too much to ask for my software product to stay on top of this type of thing so I can continue preparing returns instead of stopping to look things up and read through instructions. (Note: The instructions were finalized February 4, so it has been almost 3 weeks, hopefully it will be addressed soon)
