Printing separate state and federal tax forms does not work

There is another bug in the TurboTax Deluxe desktop program. When I print my federal tax return only, the state return is also printed. I don't want to e-file and submit the state return. When will this problem be fixed?

I'm not clear on your issue. You just don't want to have the state return print when you print your Federal return?

That's correct. When I go to print, I have options to print the federal and/or the state tax return. I only select one of them for printing (as I have done for many years). I only expect to get that tax return printed, not both. I want to be sure I am getting the complete tax return for what I have selected, not a mixture of federal and state. (However, Delaware is an exception and a good part of the federal return is included with that state return). My issue is with the federal return. I don't want to, for example e-file the federal return and submit part of my state return. No part of my state return is necessary for filing my federal tax return. This is just a bug in the Deluxe version this year--that separate tax returns can't be printed.

I'm having the same issue this year (2025), but not in prior years. I go to print only the Fed return, and the print dialogue shows printing both Fed and my two States. Likewise, when I only want to print an individual State, the Federal and other State are also called up to print in the print dialogue box. Confusing mess, plus I don't want to waste paper and toner by printing extra forms that I do not need. Surely this is a bug, and should have been fixed by now (2/28).

If you choose 'All forms required for filing' in the Print Dialogue box, scroll down in the second window and uncheck the State box or you will get your Federal and any states printed.

I uncheck the State box. The state info still prints. That is a bug that Intuit needs to fix.
