I CANNOT FIND MY STATE TAXES TO PRINT AND MAIL IN. HOW DO I PRINT THEM TO MAIL AND FILE MY ILLINOIS STATE TAXES

I FILED ON 1/27/17 AND AN ERROR CAME UP THAT I COULD NOT EFILE MY STATE TAXES AND I MUST PRINT AND FILE THEM. I WAS ON A COMPUTER WITH NO PRINTER SO I LOGGED OUT THINKING I WOULD BE ABLE TO PRINT THEM LATER AND MAIL THEM. NOW I AM TRYING TO PRINT THE STATE TAXES TO FILE THEM AND I CAN'T FIND THE LINK ANYWHERE!

You can file a conventional paper return in TurboTax for Windows. You'll need:

Got all that? Let's go!

  1. Open your return in TurboTax.
  2. Click the File tab, then Continue.
  3. On the next screen, E-file Your Federal Return for FREE, select the option File by mail near the bottom of your screen. Click Continue.
  4. On the following screen, select which return(s) you want to print for mailing (federal and/or state).
  5. Continue following the on-screen instructions until you get to the Print Tax Return For Mailing screen.
    • On this screen, click Print Returns to Mail.
    • Then click Preview Print Copy in the pop-up window.
  6. Wait for TurboTax to generate your return in Adobe Reader.
  7. Once your return has opened in Adobe Reader, click the "printer" icon near the top to print.
  8. When finished, click Continue in TurboTax and follow any additional on-screen instructions.

The first page in your printout package will be the File by Mail Instructions, which will provide the mailing address and what forms, if any, you need to include.

Important: To prevent identity theft, we recommend that you mail your return from a post office or give it directly to your mail carrier.
