Also note, I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (32-bit) installed and updated. I open & print PDF files all day long!

I too have this problem in Turbo Tax 2021 Home and Business running in Windows 10. I have already saved the tax return and calculation worksheets in PDF format to my computer so that works. But right after filing the Federal and State returns I got this page saying I had to send in some paperwork. None of the options to create and save a PDF or print a form work - they all fail with this Error in converting your forms to PDF format. I am up to date (it updated today) and have no idea what this form is. There is nothing in the tax return which looks like a form that I need to mail.

One possible answer for me - there is a note that I need to mail copies of a Long Term care premium to West Virginia. Perhaps the system is trying to print that out?

I too am having this issue. I have saved my return as a pdf without a problem. However, when I try to print whatever I am supposed to be sending to the government, it will not let me print it. Any solution will be most appreciated.

don’t print it from turbo tax. Save it as a PDF then, Print it from adobe acrobat, open the PDF that you saved and print it that way…. if that makes sense… that is how i had to print my taxes.
