Turbotax Business Desktop:

When going thru the filing process, Form 8825 shows up as blank pages. I have tried at several times, checked and installed updates, and have also attempted to print specific forms, selecting only the Form 8825, and the output is still blank.

Similar issue with K-1 forms. There's a blank page, and then the "Additional Information from Schedule K-1" does show up correctly, and K-1-P forms do show up correctly. But the K-1 does not.

This experience was reported to the development team and corrected in the update released February 13, 2026. Please restart TurboTax Business and print your forms again. You may also try opening the PDFs using the Chrome browser or Adobe Acrobat.

I used Chrome to open the PDF and form 8825 is then populated. However, the Form 8825 Schedule A is not populated with the details for the Other Rental Real Estate expenses.

Please ignore question about Schedule A and Form 8825. The form is not needed in my set of circumstances. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

H&R Block has very good software. It can read directly from the TT file for the current or previous year. There have been so many issues with TT lately. I will order H&R Block, complete my return, and then work on getting a refund from TT. I ended up doing this last year for my personal taxes due to similar issues.

I SAVED the file, and then RIGHT-CLICKED the file and chose OPEN WITH FIREFOX. It worked!

A similar problem still exists with various pages and forms in PDFs generated from Turbo Tax Business 2025 and Turbo Tax Premier 2025 for various state returns, which the February 13 update hasn't fixed. Commenters have indicated it's a "Windows problem" but I think it's more likely an incompatibility in the PDF files with various rendering engines.

If you open up the .PDF files with various PDF readers you might get similar results to my testing:

Adobe Acrobat - Displays a warning about an error in the page but the pages will usually still render rather than rendering blank.

Firefox (Gecko rendering) - Should correctly render the pages.

Edge (Chromium rendering) - Does not correctly render the pages - shows blank page.

Safari (Webkit Engine) - Should correctly render the pages.

I didn't test Chrome but as it's Chromium based I would guess it has the same problem as Edge. If you get a blank page in a PDF, try opening the PDF file with different PDF readers and see if it works.

Hope this helps...
