My 2021 Alabama state tax return was e-filed and accepted several days ago. However I cannot print my return and I get a message saying all the Alabama forms are not ready for printing. Why is this and when can I print my Alabama return?

It sounds like there's a state form included in your tax return that is not yet ready for printing. To check when this form will be available, follow the steps below:

Visit the following Help Article: State forms availability table for TurboTax individual ...
Select your TurboTax product
Click View availability next to your state
Locate the form and view the print date

Once your form becomes available, it will automatically update if you're using TurboTax Online. For the TurboTax CD/Download software, you will need to check for updates or update manually using the steps listed here. Then you will be able to print your tax return.

The turbox answer is a meaningless reply and is not logical. There is a bug in TurboTax if you can e-file and your return is accepted by the state, but TurboTax will NOT let you save the state return as a PDF. If we have the capability to file and error check finds no errors and you take our money for e-filing, and the state accepts the return, you MUST provide the save as PDF capability.

FIX this TurboTax bug !!!!

When efiling a return, there are times when TurboTax can send data to the IRS, but a form is not yet available for printing. I checked our forms availability, and the only form I see unavailable for printing at this time is Form 2210, Estimated Tax Penalties for Individuals. If this form does not apply to your tax situation, please contact customer care by following the steps here. We are limited through this public forum regarding the troubleshooting we can perform.

The forms for printing will not be available until after 2 March...so check the 3rd.

Since not even one of the AL printed forms will be available/final until that date....or later...I suspect it may be because the AL Dept of Revenue REALLY prefers that people e-file their tax returns, and they don't want to see any printed forms showing up at their door for manual processing, until after the start of March.

If you have e-filed your return, everything you print will have the do not file warning on them. This is to prevent the forms from being mailed in. @nutin2it

I'm not sure what that has to do with it - whether I e-file or mail. I still need a clean copy of the return to save and later print out the vouchers for mailing in the quarterly estimated payments! I can't use them with the "DO NOT MAIL/E-FILE ONLY" superimposed on it. I also e-filed federal and they didn't have that all over the saved PDF. Doesn't make sense to me.
