If you have successfully saved your returns to PDF, you should be able to print them. What type of error message are you seeing? Does your device recognize your printer?   If you expand the size of the print center window you may see the 'Print Preview' button. To expand the size of the Print Center window in TurboTax, you can use the font scaling icons (large A/small A) at the bottom-right corner of the desktop application, or use Ctrl/+ (Windows) / Cmd/+ (Mac) to zoom in. If the text is specifically too small, you can adjust the font size via the View menu, or in Mac font settings.    Another solution for the situation in which you can't see all of the options can be to attach another monitor.   You could also try emailing the pdf to yourself and then see if you can print from a different device.   @TammyAJ 

MA MA will give you a credit for the tax you paid to IL. The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same gross income. You may owe your resident state,  if they have a higher tax rate along with differences in how the taxable income is calculated.   IL IL has a 30 day rule so you will need to file an IL return and pay for that income. IL is a flat tax but it is not taxed on the IL income. Instead, IL taxes your entire income and then allocates the tax due based on the IL % of income earned. You will need to pay tax to IL. You can make estimated payments or have work withhold some taxes for IL.   For example: IL tax on your federal income is $8,000 But only 10% of your income was earned in IL IL tax liability will be 10% of $8,000 or $800. Buying a vacation home won't change anything as long as you spend less than 9 months living in IL, then you are a resident. You will not qualify for the homeowner's exemption as that is for residents only.   I suggest you keep a log of the days you are physically in IL.
