Form 8915F Instructions

When will the instructions for Federal Form 8915F be final in ProConnect Tax software so we don't get this Critical Diagnostic "Federal Form 8915F (2020) is final, but the instructions are still in draft. If you file the return, there is the potential that calculations could change, and that you may need to file an amended return when the instructions are final."?

Keep an eye out on the IRS https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-dft/i8915f--dft.pdf to see when it switches to NOT DRAFT?

Or read the draft instructions until you are sure what you are filing is in accordance with this draft version and you feel pretty confident that your return would not change in the event that the instructions would be modified in any way or means that might cause the return to be defective.,

Remember  - Software is only a toll. - This is a quotation from a very wise contributor to this vast array of Q & A that is purported to be support, but really is just a collection of opinions from other users.

Here's wishing ProConnect Tax Online would fix this. I still have a Critical Diagnostic today on March 20, 2023 for a 2022 Individual Tax Return:  "Federal Form 8915F (2020) is final, but the instructions are still in draft. If you file the return, there is the potential that calculations could change, and that you may need to file an amended return when the instructions are final."

The folks on the ProSeries side of things must have screamed louder than the ProConnect folks if you are still stuck in the mud.
