I received notifications in early February that both my federal and state taxes were accepted. I received our direct deposits a few days after. I can download my federal return just fine. But when I try to download my state return there is a watermark all over them that says 'do not file' .I need to print this form to send in our payment for city taxes. Why cant I print the state return when it was clearly accepted?

DO NOT FILE means the form is not ready. Please clarify what city tax form you are trying to file so we may help you better.

Hi!

My city taxes show within the state filing (Michigan). I need those to print off and send it with the payment that Turbo tax says I owe the city.

Believe it or not, some forms are not available for print or mailing even if they are available for efiling.

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. And that's where these forms are right no w - waiting for the programmers to finish testing. Which - believe me - you want them to do.

Here is the timeline for the release of state forms on TurboTax.
