. Need a paper copy of my taxes. Turbotax only printing as a PDF file, not letting me print on my printer.

My printer is working. Please help!

PDF files should print just fine....what happens when you use Adobe Reader and open the PDF then try to print it?

[Lisa995]

@jeanetluc  can you open the PDF and see the tax return forms but the printer just wont print anything?

[jeanetluc]

Yes, that's  what is frustrating me. Printer will not print

[Lisa995]

That's a computer/printer issue, not TurboTax, sorry.

Save the PDF to a thumb drive and take it to a place you can print it ... a friend, family member/ office depot, etc.

That's how TurboTax prints. It creates a PDF file. You print the PDF to your printer using the Print function in Acrobat Reader, or whatever other PDF reader you are using. You cannot print directly to the printer from TurboTax.

I have printed directly to the printer for the last 5 years.  Why does Turbotax make changes that are so frustrating? Still cannot print from  the PDF file.

I have also printed from turbo tax

Have you tried rebooting your computer?  Are you using the Desktop program as indicated on your question?

[rjs]

You did not print directly to the printer from TurboTax for the last 5 years. TurboTax started "printing" to PDF for 2012 tax returns. It is not a recent change.

[jeanetluc]

Yes, I am using a desktop program.  No issue last year.  I press print and got my paper copies

When checking my PDF file there are no returns there.
