When is the new Form 172 being finalized?

[Paul-G-328]

I've been holding a return because of an error with net operating loss carryover bec a new Form 172 has not been finalized. Does anyone know when that will happen?

Current date still sits at 3/20/25.

Just as a side note - I believe you can e-file the return now if you manually fill out a copy of the form from the IRS website, attach it as a pdf and turn off error checking when you convert the file for e-filing.

We should not have to do extra work, because Pro Series can't get there S..... together

True but you have 2 choices.

Do the extra 💩

or

Wait, and file an extension meanwhile if needed.

Why would it say on the PS status page "Final form without watermark was released on February 04, 2025."? TIA.

i have an error code on Line 14a of the Carryover Worksheet which reads:

"Net Operating Loss is now reported on Form 172. Form 172 has not been finalized at this time"

Thats all I know as of today. One response said it was due out on March 20th.

Once again Lacerte and ProConnect had their Form 172 available on Feb 4th and ProSeries users are stuck with nothing but work arounds as they have even pushed the date out already. Intuit has done this to ProSeries users multiple times over the years probably in hopes that we will move to one of the other products.
