Electronic Filing via Turbotax

Mar 03, 2009 3 Replies

Each of the last several years, I have used Turbotax to prepare my taxes and have filed electronically. This year when I try to file, I get a message that I am unable to file electronically due to Form



3468, Investment Tax Credit being included. The past 2 years I have had that form included and had no problems electronically filing.

Anyone have any experience with this? Why would I be able to file in the past but not be able to file now?


The IRS has announced that Form 3468, Investment Credit, is not available for electronic filing until further notice due to recent tax legislation.

Do you know what kind of legislation? Why would the IRS take a form mailed in, but not accept it if it were electronically filed. Our return is about 30 pages - wjy would our government do such a thing?

First Congress passed the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of

2008 in October. That required the form to be put on hold. Then we they had a draft, Congress just passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Again.. the draft has to be revised.

That's just two bills I am aware of. There may have been others that affected the 3468.
