My tax return is missing the Cover Page that contains the Electronic Filing Instructions. Where can I download/print/access the pages?

The PDF of my return is not printing the Cover Pages. The cover pages to both Federal and State forms used to print. The pages include sections about the refund or amount due, the tax summary and estimated tax details.

Sign onto your online 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 2020 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

 

The Filing Instructions page will be included.

Thanks. That did the trick. But it makes no sense that the final PDF does not include these instructions, but only the draft you can download prior to filing.

They did not print for me either.  I am using the software not online.  How do I get them to print?

Click on File

Click on Print/Save for your records

Click on either the Print or Save a PDF button

On the Form Selection window notice that the Filing Instructions page is shown for both the federal and state tax returns.

So you do not see the Filing Instructions page in the Form Selection window using the TurboTax 2021 desktop software?  What are using for an operating system, Windows or Mac?

No.  I have them for my State but not Federal.  I am using Home & Business on my desktop which is a Mac.

Sorry, yours is the first I have seen with this problem.

I will ask one of our Mac experts to see if they have a recommendation - @macuser_22
