i keep getting a "not final - do not file" on my accepted and downloaded return on the first 4 pages. How can I print or download without this message?

The 2024 return was filed and accepted, however, I cant delete the first 4 pages of Estimated payment forms that say "NOT FINAL_ DO NOT FILE." I need this report for someone and it cant say NOT FINAL

If you used the TurboTax online editions to complete and file your 2024 tax return, then use Print Center and the option for all worksheets.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, make sure the software has been updated to the latest release.  

With the TurboTax 2024 program started, click on Online at the top of the desktop program screen.  Then click on Check for Updates.

@black1761   You don't need the 1040ES forms.  Nobody will need to see them.  Can you just print out the pages you need to give to someone?

I need to send it electronically (not printed); which means the first four pages (1040 ES forms) will be on the file with the words- NOT FINAL.  This is super frustrating.  And no way to get rid of the first four pages (ES forms) in the PDF file once it is downloaded.

THANKS!   The "add a state" from the "home page" worked.  Turbo Tax should fix this glitch.  How would I know to click on "Add a state" to get to the print center.

The "add a state" did work..   Turbo tax needs to fix this!!  How would I know to do this!!

The Forms 1040-ES are for your use only, they are NOT sent electronically to the IRS with your 2024 e-filed tax return.

The only way the IRS can receive the Form 1040-ES is if you printed out the form and mailed it to the IRS with your estimated tax payment for tax year 2025.

@DoninGA   the "add a state" directions worked.  It got rid of the "NOT FINAL" statement!!  Thank YOU!
