I received a message to: [PRINT AND MAIL THESE FORMS TO THE GOVERNMENT. Even though you e-filed, don't skip this paperwork. These forms are required by the government to complete your return.] Two buttons are available: [Print Forms] and [Save Forms]. Both buttons generate an error: [Print Forms] generates - "Your forms can not be printed. Error in converting your forms to PDF format." [Save Forms] generates "Your forms can not be saved in PDF format." What do I need to do to comply?

Make sure you are selecting a printer you have access to in order to print your forms. Based upon your messages above, it sounds like you are trying to print to a pdf document which does not physically print out but saves to your hard drive.

There are two option available when you try to print. You can either Save As PDF or Preview Print Copy. If you want to save as a pdf, be sure to have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed as shown in the screen below. You can also download it. Or you can choose to preview the print copy and print to a physical printer this way.

Hello,

Thank you for replying. I saved my taxes in .pdf. I have a different problem. Specific forms seem to be needed and mailed to the IRS when you owe taxes. Turbo Tax will not generate the forms when selecting the buttons I wrote about in my original post. Without the forms being generated by Turbo Tax, it’s not clear to me what the IRS is requiring to be physically mailed.

I have the same problem. I called customer service and they told me to just print my entire federal and state returns and mail them in. They did not actually solve the problem as you presented. Did you ever find a solution? I think the solution should be for TurboTax programmers to fix the pdf rendering.

To print a copy I had to save the document to my computer first. Then I opened it on my computer and was able to print.
