I see you are not getting answers, likely because this is Peer Users, and no one here would be able to tell you about the Programmers' process. As a developer/user, though, I would be comfortable pointing out that there are 8 weeks to go before you would even need this form, and that the program already accommodates the function, so it seems likely that the programmers have been tasked with making a new Required Form function properly and in a timeframe that meets your needs. As for "last minute" changes, you might want to consider that the source of format and requirements for this is the IRS. Until they release final formats to developers and program providers, it's pretty much impossible for the market to create it on their own. I could provide you with the links to the style sheets, etc, if you would like to watch for the final release to developers, if monitoring that would make you feel better.
