So you did not make a copy of your 2021 return in PDF? You really should do this every year, because you never know when you will need it.
OK, please do this. Open your 2021 TurboTax return again. It may say things like you can't do this or you've already filed or whatever. Scroll down until you see "Add a state". Click on this - no, we're not going to add state, but this will let you back in the return.
On the left, look for Tax Tools (you may need to act like you are going to enter some data to get it to appear). Click on Tax Tools. Several options will appear underneath. One of them is Print Center. Click on Print Center and see if you can view your return in PDF. Once you can view your return in PDF, you can print the city forms.
The same applies for you. Print the PDF copy of the return and contact the Grand Rapids tax office (see link in a previous post) and see if you can mail the city pages.
And perhaps I wasn't clear earlier - TurboTax does not support e-filing the CF-1040. As I said, I don't know why it doesn't by the related Intuit product Proconnect doesn't either.
In any case, I want to be clear, it's not being worked on. For 2021, at least, you can't use TurboTax to e-file those city forms as part of the state return, and it's not going to be worked on...this year.
For both of you. Please bear in mind that you have already paid your city tax, because your employers withheld it and sent it to the cities on a quarterly or monthly basis. So for all I know, Grand Rapids may not be in a hurry to get your paperwork - they already have your money.
Bill,
we’re on the same page about e-filing. I’ve never e-filed Grand Rapids. Every year I print the Michigan return and mail the city pages. Just unable to do that this year due to this “preview only” issue. I will try what you suggested! When I referenced wanting to know something was being worked on, I meant the fact that we can’t print Michigan. Clearly something is broken there in TurboTax. Turbo tax support just advised me to check every day…
Sorry to double post, but I’m pleased to say Bill’s instructions worked for me. While the TurboTax Home Screen still shows Michigan as preview only, getting back into the return using Bill’s instructions is able to generate the PDF.
thank you!
@fradeck Thank you for sharing that it worked! I will try it tomorrow morning.
