California form 3801 shows up in turbotax form view, but when saving as PDF, it's not there

California form 3801 shows up in turbotax form view, but when saving as PDF (record, everything), it's not there.

Only the 3801 worksheet is printed out in the PDF...

Does anyone have a workaround?

 

 

Edit: my bad, it turns out the form is there, but search in pdf using chrome doesn't work.

You have the option to save CA Form 3801 as a separate PDF using Forms View. 

  1. Open the form, then click the Print button at the bottom of the form
  2. Choose "Save as PDF." 
  3. Depending on the software you have for viewing/editing PDF files, you may be able to add the separate form to the full return PDF you have already saved.

 

Note that when I tested this, Form 3801 and the worksheet were both saved in the California return PDF.
