Make sure that the saved .taxfile is under the documents then try to print. That would work from that point on.

Using Turbo Tax 2020 Standard. Cannot print from either "save to PDF" or the print your return tab - MAC hangs. When I select Print from the menu drop down and de-select state return it works fine. So, problem with the state (MA in my case). Similar problem others have had in prior years. TT needs to look into and address this issue. If it is a MA OS version issue then let us know that. I've reinstalled Adobe twice and TT once.

Nobody has been able to reproduce that to find the cause.     It appears to be some other Mac process that blocks the print call from TurboTax to the built in Apple print function, although at least  one Mac user found a leftover file from  virus software that was one installed and not totally uninstalled that caused the block.

 

Usually if you just print the state and wait long enough - up the a half hour, it will eventually print and once it prints the first time then it prints fine after that.

All,

 

Same thing happened to me. First open the Force Quit window from the Apple Menu, then try using the Print command from the File Menu. At the dialog, uncheck all but one return, e.g. state or federal (I have federal and two states). TurboTax will spin and the Force Quit window will report that the app is not responding. Now just wait, I waited almost two minutes before my printer dialog came up. I was able to print one tax return at a time successfully.

My Oregon State Tax Forms will not print because awaiting an update.  However, there is no need to wait for an update.  I downloaded instructions for including property taxes on my Schedule OR-A.  So I need to print a copy of my return NOW.

@budnsandyg2 If the program states that it must wait for an update, there is no way around the program needing the update. This is to ensure everything is completely accurate.

This is a note to anyone trying to print forms out of TurboTax using the macOS. Here is the bottom line: BE PATIENT AFTER REQUESTING TURBO TAX TO PRINT! I am currently using Sonoma, 14.4.1. Whenever I tried to print my 2023 tax returns out of TurboTax, or even if I tried to save it as a PDF, I would get the spinning Beachball of doom… and then I would open Force Quit Applications and it would say TurboTax (application not responding). I would then force quit TurboTax and try again after applying some sort of fix, but it kept crashing. But then this morning I found that if I just WAITED FAR LONGER THAN USUAL and let the beach ball spin for a few minutes at least, TurboTax would begin responding again and I was able to print my returns and make PDF copies.
