I tried to print state return, but the program says it can't print because some forms are not finalized.  What does that mean?  The program says the return was accepted by the State.

Please see the attached for details on when the forms can be printed for California.

 

Some forms are still being finalized by the state.

 

CA forms scheduled release date

I  should be able to print my return even if the forms aren't finalized and it is 1/30/20, why aren't these forms ready?   The one form (5805) that says 2/6/20, FTB has on their website, so why isn't it here and ready?   The 540 should be able to be reviews and printed so I can see it at this point.

Ca is really behind on releasing their forms. Turbo Tax uses drafts but can not do anything until CA gives the okay. You can check CA forms availability.

 

Please note that there are many CA forms that are unsupported for e-file this year.

I am using CD/Download windows version. I updated the software yet still unable to view or print CA return, what I am missing. All CA forms should be available. 

 

Thank you

I don't understand your issue.  Without any details it's hard to comment.    What/where is the roadblock when you try to view/print your CA state return in the desktop software?    How and where are you trying to view and print them?   What happens when you try?  Is there any error message?

 

Have you already filed the CA state return and want to view/print for your records?   Or are you trying to view/print prior to filing to preview it for accuracy?

 

Or are you in a loop where it keeps telling you to download an update?  If so, is it this kind of loop?

If your program says it's up to date or you can't update it then do the Manual Update.  This has fixed the State forms not available problem for some users.

TurboTax cannot mail or e-mail your tax returns, nor print your tax returns for you.

 

To access your prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents click on Show.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

 

Or go to this IRS website for free federal tax return transcripts - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

For a fee of $43 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
