Anyway, I use this trick for goal tracking for Google forms. It might not be the best one or the optimal one but it works.

Solution for Google form Goal Tracking

One liner – Convert the form page (hosted on Google) source code into HTML and then use that code with event tracking.

Still no clue? Here is the long form of the answer.

Steps to track form submission as Goal:

1) Convert the iframe embedded code into HTML

It’s really simple. Just open the form in a browser and copy it source.

Example:

I’m using this demo form here. Just open link and copy it source.

2) Tweak the form as per your need.

Remove header part and other not useful  scripts  from there. You can also style it using your own CSS.

I converted the source code of first step form into something like this.

3) Use event tracking using on-click event on Submit button 

Use this tool for creating an event.

4) Use event as a goal

Let me know if you are having any problem.

Thanks
