Federal Return not printing out with Illinois 1040

I am printing out to mail my Illinois 1040 return.  In the print preview list for Illinois it shows the Federal 1040 along with Schedules 1, 2 and 3 to be printed at the end of the Illinois return.  When I hit Preview Print Copy  the pdf shows the Illinois return and instead of printing the required Federal Return pages it attaches and prints the first 2 pages of the Illinois return again.  I have tried different browsers, saved as a pdf then opened with Acrobat and it is the same printout.  I am using TT Home and Business Desktop for Windows.

The browser shouldn't make a difference....Unless you are accidentally using the "Online" software, and are not actually using the Desktop H&B.

 

Yeah, that could be a bug....but since you are using the desktop software, you could just go ahead and select/ print out the Federal forms separately to attach to what you mail in for Illinois.   

Go ahead and print two Federal sets....an extra one to save in a folder for future reference.

Hi SteamTrain,

Thanks for the response.

 

I know the browser is not the issue, but someone would say did you try another browser,.  But I did have to use another browser because the Illinois K-1-T was not populating when using the Microsoft Edge browser,  Different issue, but I solved that one.

 

I do realize that I could print out the other fed pages and attach.  But Turbo Tax needs to fix the problem with the program so one can file them correctly and with the correct federal pages attached and not for the user to try and guess what pages need to be attached.  If I decide to e-file the Illinois return instead of mailing it in, is it going to not attach the Federal return pages need or is it going to reattach the Illinois first 2 pages again.

As for e-filing Ill...supposedly everything goes in electronically OK.

 

At this late date, if there had been any IL e-file issues, of the type you are encountering with printing the Federal part, then there would have been a gazillion posts in here complaining about it...so far...virtually nothing.   Most IL e-file issues that I recall,  seem to be with having an IL Drivers lisc, or non-resident filing situations....or IL/WI tax reciprocity situations.

Still, your former problem with the browser concerns me. 

Desktop software doesn't use a browser.

(though, I guess some file import situations might go out and kind-of use one)
