ProSeries Professional 2026. Form 172 shows 'not ready for filing' on 3 NOL clients (farm/non-farm).

Already ran full updates, checked form-status.app.intuit.com, and did state reinstall. Need urgent fix or workaround for tax season.

Affects multiple clients, urgent for filing/mail deadlines, already followed all update/troubleshooting steps.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!!!!!  I just updated ProSeries normally (Update --> Update Installed Products) this evening at 11:00pm and to my surprise there was an update available.

After ProSeries restarted, there were no more errors!!!!  I finally filed all of these returns that I have been waiting to file for weeks!  ProSeries finally got it done, a day late (really 28 day late in my opinion) at the 23rd hour!

Happy Filing!!!

FINALLY!! Hey @IntuitKate maybe we should all see a credit or discount!  Prices keep increasing every year but the service isn't up to par!

Finally, no errors and I have been able to e-file returns with NOLs.  Success, I think, thus far the EF Status is still “Received by Intuit”.  One of these have been waiting for the Form 172 availability and the ability to file since 02/06/2026.

Glad to hear the NOL forms are finally transmitting for you! The software delays on these specific forms have been brutal this season.

Speaking of massive NOLs, I’ve had a ton of real estate clients generating them lately by utilizing bonus depreciation. Just a heads up if you have clients acquiring commercial or residential properties - or who need a look-back study to manufacture some heavy early-year deductions.

Anyway, congrats on finally getting those returns out the door!
