1040x won't print (prints blank pages)

I'm amending my 2025 taxes. Turbotax 2025 created a 1040x form with my data. Data is shown on the form but appear as blank pages when printing or creating pdf. I have not submitted it yet since I don't know if e-filing sends blank pages to IRS or actual data. Turbotax finds no errors. I see others have a similar issue. If I print the actual 1040x, it's blank and printing final documents to IRS 1040x is blank.

1040x won't print (prints blank pages)

It does appear to be a browser issue but also a Turbotax issue.

When viewing in turbotax the 1040x file, the instruction page can be viewed followed by 2 blank pages. When creating a pdf in turbottax 10 of the 12 pages can be seen in Edge. The 2 missing are the 1040x. When opening the same pdf in chrome or in gmail, it shows all 12 pages.  

I believe if I had efiled the ammendmended 1040x, that the IRS would have received the 12 pages.

I would think it is a difference in the viewing/printing algorithm Turbotax uses to handle the 1040x documents that were released in late February that causes Edge to treat those 2 pages differently. 

We were able to print and mail our ammended taxes.

1040x won't print (prints blank pages)

Although I e-filed our initial return, another member suggested manually filing the amendment. I completed the IRS form via IRS.gov.  I went back into turbotax and selected mail in my return.  I figured I would add the IRS.gov 1040x with the other documentation.  The 1040x printed with the other documents directly from Turbotax. Yet when I go into Turbotax and pdf print or print preview, it shows the 1040x with blank pages. 

It may be a preview and print to .pdf printing issue. Sending form directly to the printer, prints it all.

This is an Adobe Acrobat issue. You might need to update that software.

I had the same problem. I opened the pdf in Firefox browser instead of Edge and then it worked fine.
