Form 172

[TiredFarmer]

I haven't downloaded program yet...does anyone know when form 172 will be ready it was March last year but you had to attach form so you could "work around"?  Just curious what kind of year this may be and if I am just too old.  Thanks in advance.

Holy smokes, it shows March 18th???  what the heck! 

I can understand the first year its out to be delayed, but dammit, again the next year?

[PATAX]

it looks like most recent version of form is December 2024 - so it should be ready soon hopefully.

But ProSeries does show it as March.  The mass complaints should start rolling in within the next couple of weeks so there will be pressure to have them make it a little higher priority than that.  ProSeries engineers have long held the believe that as long as a form is ready by the due date of the return, everybody should be happy.

Just by chance anyone who has downloaded program know if form 172 even populates or if it will be March?  Thanks and Much Appreciation for the information.

[IRonMaN]

It doesn't exist yet.

[TiredFarmer]

Thanks so much for the information.  I have not started off to a good start and just trying to read to see what other issues I might have. I knew last year it showed up as an error and haven't been able to check this year yet.  Hope you both have a good tax season. I really appreciate your kindness.

So we cannot efile until March 18th if we fill out form 172

To whom can we address this issue to. We paid a lot for this software and we should have all the forms we need. March is too late. My clients are expecting their refunds soon. What can I tell them.

[IRonMaN]

"What can I tell them."

You can tell them that the current estimated release date is Wednesday.

Check on Wednesday afternoon PST 2/18

Today is 2/19/26.Paying too much money for software not working.

Is there a work around?????

Been using ProSeries for over 20 years. I have decided to find another provider. Their attention is on forcing businesses to switch from QBD to QBO and directly competing against the paid preparers. This is ridiculous.

I checked last night (March 3rd). It says its "ready to file". Go on this morning, updated just to make sure, Checked my final review and it says "form not final".  What the hell!! so frustrated with this program!!

Hi @rpmtaxesny This has been reported and our development team is working on it. 

[JimTax]

Form 172 is now (as of Thursday night 3/5) available with no non-final error message.

[Terril56]

As of 03-05-2026 it is not working. It has that it is but when you try to efile it's still not available.
