This answer is for Turbo Tax Home and Business, from the CD/downloadable version. This procedure is generally used after you have submitted your taxes to the IRS electronically. (You are given an option to print your return when you submit electronically.)
1. Open TurboTax
2. Click the Forms icon at the top left of the action bar. A list of all the forms you created within TurboTax opens.
3. Select the forms you wish to print from the Forms List Panel on the left.
Note: Generally, you want the forms you submitted to the IRS, which are likely to be at the top of the list, such as Form 1040. Select the forms you want to print.
4. Select File --> Print from the Turbo Tax Menu. The Returns for Your Records window appears.
5. From the Returns for Your Records window, select the 2019 Federal Tax Return (or whatever year you wish to print) checkbox.
6. On the right of the Returns for Your Records window, Select which group of documents you wish to print: Tax Return Only, Recommended Forms & Worksheets, or All Forms and Worksheets.
Important: All Forms and Worksheets can be 40 pages or more! Be sure you have enough ink and paper to print a large document.
7. From the Returns for Your Records window, click the Continue button on the bottom right of the window. The Printer window appears.
8. Click Print (for your hardcopy printer) or PDF if you wish to print as an Adobe Acrobat PDF document.
That's it!
