2022 PA partnership return is not printing filing instructions. Is an update coming regarding this?

Prior years have all had instructions.  In fact every product has always had a filing instructions page.  However, the PA state business product is currently missing the filing instructions for filing by mail.

I am using the desktop version so there is no clearing of cache.  The program simply does not have the instruction page for the PA partnership return.  It is as though the developers forgot to add it to the forms package.  It is always literally the very first page on all form groups and it's not there for the PA state business return

To print out all the worksheets, including the TurboTax worksheets used to fill in the return, there should be an option to download all forms and worksheets in the Print Center.

The general instructions are: How do I get a copy of a return I filed this year in TurboTax CD/Download?


For the future, best practices would include downloading the PDF with all worksheets when prompted when filing the return, but you may want to actually not store the file on the computer. See:

I am beginning to believe the experts working at turbotax have never actually used the software before based on the responses I am getting.  This is not a worksheet that is used to generate the return.  It is not a form that is part of the return.  After a person is finished working through their return and whether they want to print it or save it to pdf, regardless of whether wanting a return for filing or a return for records when the software generates this file with all of the pages there is a FIRST page at the start before each of the Federal and State returns.  This page is an Filing Instructions page and is and has been part of every single Turbotax product for the past 20 years.  Depending on whether a person has refund, payment, type of return it generates a different INSTRUCTION page which basically tells when and WHERE the return is to be filed.  What I am trying to say is that I see this page for the Federal business return but it is MISSING for the PA business state return.  It's not somewhere I can look to print it or add it.  The software must have overlooked this page for this year and it is missing.  I've used Turbotax for 20+ years I know how to use the program.  Go do a fake return and you will see the Instruction page that loads for both federal and state returns and you will know what I mean.

Since you're using TurboTax for Desktop, you may be able to find the State filing instructions using Forms Mode.

  1. Open your return and click the "Forms" icon in the TurboTax header.
  2. Scroll down in the left column until you see your Pennsylvania tax forms.
  3. Near the bottom of the list, look for "Filing Inst (Page 1 of 1)."
  4. Click the name of the form to open it in the large window.
  5. From here you can use the buttons in the footer to Print or Close the form as you wish.

Filing instructions for PA S-Corp return are not generating or printing, either.  They are not located in the list in Forms, either.

No, they are not there.  The PA business (partnership/s-corp/corp) filing instructions are not being generated at all.

I have done that and scrolled through the entire list.  The instruction page is not being generated.  There needs to be an update fix for the PA partnership  software to add this page/form in.

I called them just now about this issue, and hopefully a ticket will be sent to tech to fix this.

I cannot recreate your issue.  It would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2022" file that is experiencing this issue.

 

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information.  If you would like to do this, here are the instructions: 

 

At the top menu in the black line at the top of the page go to Online. 

  1. From the menu, select Send Tax File to Agent. 
  2. You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is.  Click Send and then you will get a Token number. 
  3. Reply to this thread with your Token number. This will allow us to open a copy of your return without seeing any personal information.  

We will then be able to see exactly what you are seeing and we can determine what exactly is going on in your return and provide you with a resolution.

No, I am not sending you my info.  As a community member above suggested, you or someone at Turbo Tax can produce a dummy return to see what is going on or to generate a token yourselves.  Filing Instr (1 of 1) is not being generated for downloaded PA business returns (none of them, Partnerships/S Corps/Corps) in Turbo Tax for business.  Thank you.
