Hi all,
A warning to everyone printing their return from TurboTax Desktop Mac--there is a huge bug in the software. When you choose print, if you select returns for filing or returns for your records, you get the option to print only your federal return by unchecking the checkbox next to state return, or just your state return, by unchecking the federal return box.
BUT, in the current (2/21/26) version of Turbotax Desktop Mac, that doesn't work. If you uncheck the state return box, it won't print the state instructions, but it WILL print your entire state return after your federal return. Likewise, if you uncheck the federal return box, it will still print the entire federal return, just not the federal instruction page.
This is a huge, ridiculous, embarrassing, wasteful bug—Intuit, please fix this right away!! Tax filers across the country could potentially be printing millions of extra pages of tax forms, not to mention paying twice the postage to mail in their returns if they don't realize that their state or federal tax return was erroneously printed.
