@Nyack10960 

Thanks for your answer. 

 

My software was and is up to date.

 

I have tried every day since Saturday, and the same message appears that it cannot be printed or saved in a pdf format. 

Please see this Turbo Tax help article for more information.
Error 539 when opening or saving a tax return

 

You can also see the information provided in this thread. 

This help article is totally irrelevant to the problem cited.  I have the same problem and my TurboTax for Windows product is also up to date.

 

Now I have filed and have no idea what these supposedly important forms I have to print and mail even are - SO FRUSTRATING!

If you have the same issue as the original poster, you can resolve it by downloading, or updating, the free version of Adobe Reader. Follow this link for more. 

 

If it's something else, respond back with more details about what you are experiencing. 

This worked... thanks!

I'm having the same issue. I updated Adobe Acrobat and still doesn't work. Have you found a solution? So frustrating! 

Hi. I have updated/redownloaded Adobe Acrobat, restarted my computer and tried to print the forms but I still get the "Your forms can not be printed. Error in converting your forms to PDF format." error. If I knew what forms I need to print and send I might be able to open the entire return pdf and try to print from it. It would be nice if TT would say, you need to print form XXXX and mail it in instead of a general statement. I wonder if the online version has this issue? Thanks for any help you might be able to give. 

Hi!  I have received the same message for the past three years!  There is no solution--I believe it's a glitch in Turbo Tax's software.  I have not mailed any forms to the IRS for these past three years.   I simply e-filed my returns.  There have been no further issues or correspondence that I received from the IRS during these past three years indicating that I was missing any forms when I e-filed my returns.

OMG - these responses from INTUIT are infuriating!!!!   I have the exact same issue:

> Even though you e-filed, you are still required to print and mail these forms in

> Print Required Forms

ERROR:  TurboTax Deluxx 2023. Your forms can not be printed. Error in converting your forms to PDF format.

WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO????

 

I have exactly the same problem. Just e-filed, but says I need to send printed forms to the government. When I click print or save those forms it gives me the error of not being able to convert to PDF format. Even when the whole return has been saved as PDF just before. What's going on?

I asked to talk to an expert, been given the message that I would receive a call, been waiting for a while...

Is this a glitch??

It's very rare when you have to mail forms after Efiling.  Check your 'Filing Instructions' page to be sure that you actually do have to mail something. 

 

If so, try printing the pages you need from the PDF of your return that you saved earlier.

 

@mpiotti 

And where exactly is this "filing instruction page"?  TT doesn't bring anything like that up.

Here is what my state filing instructions say.  NOTE - I DID

NOT

CHOOSE to sign my return by paper!

 

Form PIT-8453 -

Since you chose to sign your return by paper

using
Need to | Form PIT-8453, you must complete this form and mail to the New Mexico
Sign and | Taxation and Revenue Department within 1 business day from the date
Mail | the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department accepts your return.
| The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department does not consider your
| return officially filed until it has this form. The form is included
| in this printout.

Note: PIT 8453 is the main tax form for the state of NM (not some ancillary form)...

 

This very much feels like a TT glitch.

I would really like INTUIT/TT to fix this so I don't have to print my entire state tax form and mail it in.  That was the purpose for paying the $25 to e-file the state tax.  If TT doesn't fix this, how do I get a refund?

Ok for me i had to send in a copy of my driver's license, copy of w2, and a copy of state tax return, to my state. I hope this helped 

The 8453 form I completed was not a state of NM form - it was a federal form.

I've got the same statement in the filing instructions for New Mexico. I DID NOT CHOOSE TO SIGN MY RETURN BY PAPER EITHER. Is this a TT glitch? It doesn't make sense.

Thanks
