Has anyone been able to e-file 2021 taxes? the form 2210 wont allow me to file any returns.

I have several clients that do not qualify to file form 2210, yet I am unable to file taxes.  Not a single federal return can be filed due to the form 2210.  I have no errors in the return except each return is waiting for that form to be fileable.  It does not make sense to me that I cannot e-file any taxes.  I have friends working at H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt that have been e-filing taxes.  I also have friends that prepared their own taxes on Turbo tax and have already received their refunds.  What is going on in ProSeries?  I have called and twice been told I have to wait for the form 2210 to be updated in order to e-file. Are you telling me that every user of ProSeries is unable to file any federal taxes?  HELP!

The one or two times only that the 2210 was an issue this year for me I have checked the box to have IRS compute the penalty and the error message went away and efiled just fine.

Thank you for replying.  I did that and it was also suggested by ProSeries when I called in and I am still unable to e-file.

I had a new client this evening, the 2210 showed up because they owed money, once I put in their tax liability from 2020 (which was much lower than 2021) the 2210 error went away and I was able to Efile it.

I think it has a 2/10 update release date

It only causes problems for me if I have a client who owe's enough to compute a penalty. And those folks aren't mailing the check until April 14 in any case, so that file just goes in a pending stack to be filed when the form is available.

This happens every year, different form, but I will have a (very) few returns that have to go in a "waiting for forms pile".

It's not a big deal after 40+ years. (BTW that pile is right next to the "Waiting for Clients to find the last 3 pieces of information pile", which is much more of a PITA than the "Waiting for forms" pile) you just learn to deal with things.

I have those piles too. The holding for form release pile and the missing information pile. Already the piles are getting too large and I now have them stacked in empty paper boxes. Just had another 2210 to go to the hold pile. I love having to explain when they ask why tax season is open but the forms are not ready.  I'm not embarrassed any longer I just throw the IRS under the bus.
