Cover sheet (summary page)

[drbbh246]

In past years, the pdf with the tax return had a cover sheet with AGI, taxable income, effective tax rate etc. That form does not appear this year. I have gone to print center multiple times, both before and after I electronically filed my return, and that cover sheet remains missing. Is there any way to find it or has TT stopped preparing it?

There is a known issue that some customers are not seeing the filling instructions and/or summary page on the Cover page. To locate the Filling instructions and Summary Page follow the steps below:

• From the TurboTax home screen locate the left panel. Click on Tax Tools, then Print Center. (if you don't see the Tax tools menu right away, open any section of your return, for example your W-2 section, then try again to locate the left panel)
• click on Print, save or preview this year's return. The summary page will be included there.

The above method does NOT work for a number of customers this year.  I see it continues to get posted despite not working.

Quite right. That method does not work. I tried to anticipate this response by saying i had tried this multiple times.

Yep...my brother e-filed both Fed and GA this morning (didn't save a copy before e-filing).

After Fed and GA were Accepted, I directed him back to the Print Center (have to get back in using the "Add a State" selection).    Then to the Tools & Print Center, then viewed each of the 3 different PDF options...File only, and the two different extended PDFs with a ton of forms & worksheets, and none of the PDFs has the Filing Instructions sheets...

Certainly, My Desktop software still shows the Filing Instructions sheets in Forms Mode, so I know they should be in there, but I haven't actually filed yet, so don't know if TTX will surreptitiously delete them after filing.

Yep, doesn't work.

I have now tried other suggestions found in other streams for resolving the question of missing cover pages including clearing cache and using an entirely separate browser (I was in Chrome doing return, and signed in again with MS Edge). In Edge, the return was still lacking the cover sheets.

Does anyone have a definitive solution that works, or could someone from TT weigh in on whether in 2024 we should expect to see the cover sheets?

thanks.

I have done the same with negative results.  In years past I have found the cover sheet an integral part of the return for my benefit.  Would like to get it back.

Why is the cover page missing for tax year 2024?? and how can I find it?
