Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are using a Mac version, with the tax return open, you can choose File from the top line menu (next to "TurboTax 2024") then Print, and you should see a pop up screen with several options:
At the top you can toggle between "Returns For Your Records", "Returns for Filing", or "Selected Forms". You are provided with options to save to a PDF, or create a Print Preview version. You can choose to print just the return, with schedules, or include all of the worksheets.
The first few pages in the California return package will be the filing instructions, and ES vouchers if you created them. The Form 540 itself is 6 pages long without the schedules and worksheets.
Although you can e-file your federal and state taxes together, if you choose to e-file your federal first, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state. If your federal hasn't been accepted, or you printed and mailed it, you won't be able to e-file your state but you can print and mail a paper return. With your return open, select the State Taxes tab. This will take you to the state section and you can proceed from there.
