The 2022 form 5471 (rev Dec 2022) is available but the instructions are not (rev Jan 2022) so the form is not working in proconnect yet.

I have a client desperate to file ASAP. Can I add the 5471 as a PDF attachment instead?

The diagnostic about instructions should not prevent you from e-filing. I do not see the attachment as a good solution.

It does prevent e-filing - at least the forms do not generate.

I do not see a good solution, short of waiting. I do see they have posted "This form is final and watermarked Do not file or This form is not available pending receipt of instructions" I would hope this wording also means it will be released shortly. I see Lacerte has the same notice.
