    Please describe what problem you are having in printing the 2018 return.  How are you printing, and where is the roadblock?  Is there any error message?

     

    Are you using Online TurboTax or the desktop software (CD/download)?

     

    Are you wanting to print a copy to review prior to filing?   Or are you printing to file a return by mail?   Or have you already filed and are wanting to print a copy for your records?

    I saved 2018 return on my MAC computer. When I go to downloads, it only brings up 1040.   I need my 1099's for refinancing home. How do I retrieve and print.

    You need to explain more.   Please answer the following:

     

    "I saved 2018 return on my MAC computer."

    But how was it prepared?   Was it prepared on the Mac in desktop software (CD/download), or was it prepared in Online TurboTax?

     

    "When I go to downloads, it only brings up 1040."

    Since you mention "downloads", does that mean it was prepared online?  And if so, in the PDF you download from your online TurboTax account do you only find the Form 1040, but not the additional schedules and worksheets?

     

    If it was prepared Online, we can tell you a way to download a larger PDF that has all the extra worksheets.  TurboTax does not have actual copies of your official Forms 1099, however.   TurboTax only has the data from the 1099's that you entered into the program.    So it will have a worksheet for each 1099.

     seems to be...that since I used the free version of turbotax to complete my 2018 taxes....that I cannot print a PDF file of the taxes unless I upgrade (and pay) to a different version.  Is this correct?  I hope not...or TT loses yet another customer.

    You can always get the current year free edition return.  

    Try printing from the Print Center
    Log back in your TurboTax account and "add a state" to open the return back up (you are not really adding a state, just to open it back up), then
    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

    Or are you looking for a 2017 return you did last year in 2018?
