Why can't I print all forms and worksheets "after" I have e-filed?

gustavio — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:23:19 GMT

I only have the option to print a copy of my e-filed federal and state returns which do not contain all the forms and worksheets. Here is a PDF index of the contents of the downloaded print file.

However, if I go back to print a previous year, it contains all the forms and worksheets.

So, how do I get all these forms and worksheets for 2022?

Thanks for your help.

Important:

***These instructions apply to e-files that have already been transmitted & accepted ***

OK, I figured it out. You have to fake out turbotax to get back into the 2022 tax forms & worksheets so:

Click on Add a State > Tax Tools > Print Center > open print center & select the option of your choice:

After downloading, just x out (eg, exit) the browser and it will cancel the add a state function.

Cheers

Bingo ... after the season closes in late October the returns are archived. When the online season opens for the next tax year in December the ONLY PDF file available is the one with all the worksheets in it. If you want a PDF of the return ONLY then you need to either save it before you file OR use the "add a state" trick to get back into the return so you can use the print center options.

The only thing about saving the PDF before you file is you will not have the Filing History Report since the return jhad not been efiled yet.

Thank you for confirming the "add a state" trick and also providing the additional archiving timelines.

Can you please provide step-by-step details on how to do this? I can't find "Add a State" anywhere and I'm pulling my hair out. Thanks in advance.

Go to Tax Home. Select the year you have just files. Click on Add another state. You should see Print Center on left navigation bar. You can now print all kind of worksheets and forms.

If this does not work, please provide the version of TurboTax that you are using.
