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 !!!!

The IRS started this tax season pretty far behind. That kind of delay flows down to the states. So the IRS finalizes their forms and then the states finalize their forms. And then the TurboTax programmers get the forms and have to integrate them into the TurboTax program. Then there is testing to make sure that the newly added forms work with the program properly. Then they are rolled out to the public. As inconvenient as the waiting is it will still get your tax return processed faster than paper filing it.

I need to be able to print and save my Alabama state tax return so I can submit it by mail!!!

I paid for this program! It does not work!!! I want this fixed! I should not have to pay to e-file my state return if I don't want to! All of your "EXPERT" answers are irrelevant to this problem for ALL of us! I can't get help through this site or through your 1-800 people either. Why doesn't anyone at Turbo Tax address YOUR issue and FIX IT?@DaraLO

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.
