Trashing a corrupted preferences file fixed my printing problem, I am now able to both print my tax and save my tax return to PDF.
Unfortunately TurboTax did not install properly on my computer. Most of the information I found online recommended that I uninstall Turbotax and then reinstall everything again. However, on a Mac problems of this nature are often caused by a corrupted preference file, which you can simply delete to fix the problem.
The following steps will fix a problem caused by corruption of a preferences file:
1) In the Finder, select the "Go" menu (at the top of the Finder screen), and in the pull done menu select "Go To Folder".
2) In the text field of the window that opens, type "~/Library" and then click "Go".
3) Select and open the "Preferences" folder.
4) In the "Preferences" folder, select the file named "com.intuit.TurboTax.20XX.plist" and drag it to the trash. (Note that the XX indicates the year of the Turbotax software you are repairing -- I am using TurboTax Home and Business 2018, so in my case the file name was "com.intuit.TurboTax.2018.plist".
5) Then close the Library window.
6) Empty the trash.
7) Shut down and restart your computer.
😎 Now you can launch TurboTax again. I was asked to once again register my software, since that data is saved by the preferences file. Everything else should have remained intact.
This worked for me and fixed the printing and saving to PDF problems without the need to delete and then reinstall everything again. So if you are having problems with software on a Mac, first try deleting the software's preferences file. When you launch the software after removing the corrupt preferences file, a fresh new preferences file is created to replace the previous corrupted file. Nine out of ten times this will help to resolve the problem, so well worth giving it a try.
