I'm trying to print the 8453-PE Form, but it pops up an error message that states "we need to close TurboTax, this may cause you to lose some of the info that you have entered".  I let TurboTax Business close, it recovers my file, I select e-file and then it comes to the 8453-PE form and closes again.

I don't have PDF software installed.  I was able to use save my filing as a PDF and that went well.

Windows Security Virus & Threat protection was blocking the ability to print the form and to send a copy to the agent.

I got the form saved, printed and scanned into my computer. But when I try to attach it to my return it says it can't convert the file to PDF. Even though it was saved as a PDF file. What do I need to do??
