Thank you, mesquitebean.
For those of you who are having problems printing from TurboTax 2024, here are two workarounds that might help. Recommend you try them in order, as the first one is much more convenient than the second one … but it does NOT work for everybody.
TurboTax Will Not Print
EM99 -- and anybody else who's still having trouble printing ...
I recommend you first try this simple workaround, which was posted by bpayseno and others:
Method 1 posted By bpayseno:
Work-around until Intuit fixes the print function.
1) Use the "Save to PDF" option in the "File" menu of the desktop program and save a copy of your returns to location you can easily find on your computer.
2) Open the PDF of your returns in your PDF reader program (acrobat, Preview, etc.) and use that program to print to your local printer.
^ That solution seems to work for most people now.
But if that doesn't work for you, then try this more cumbersome workaround.
Method 2 posted by maukro (me):
Here's how I eventually got my 2024 Tax Return to print (Mac Desktop with TurboTax Desktop Version, HP printer)...
1) With TurboTax open on my desktop and on the Save For Your Records tab ...
2) I clicked on "File" from the TurboTax menu in the top menu bar ...
3) Then I chose "Preview" at the bottom of the "File" dropdown menu ...
4) Upon doing that, a new Preview window opened up.
5) Ensure that "2024 Federal Tax Return" is checked on the left hand side of the new window.
6) Choose which 2024 Tax Return forms you'd like to print. (I stuck with the default labeled "Recommended forms & worksheets."
7) Click on the blue "Preview" button in the lower right of that same window.
8. Another new window will open up -- this one, at least on my computer, is a very tiny version of my entire 2024 Federal Tax Return.
9) Put your cursor over the tiny preview window (ie, over your mini-tax return). A small 4-item menu will appear (if it's not already there).
10) Click on the little icon to the left of the download arrow. (The download arrow on the far right of that 4-item menu did not function properly for me. It would not download the preview.) The icon you should click on looks like an ink bottle in front of a square piece of paper.
11) Now, a new window will open up in the "Preview" app. In my case, the new document that opened up had a strange document name with six letters and numbers followed by "-Unknown.pdf." I changed the document's name to my own choosing prior to taking the next step so that I could find my file after I saved it.
12) Now, from the Preview menu in the top menu bar, Click on "File."
13) Click on "Print" at the bottom of that "File" menu.
14) You will now be able to Save your TurboTax return as a PDF ... and/or ... you will be able to Print your TurboTax return.
15) Phew. That's a lot of work, TurboTax! You need to do better.
Best Wishes!
