Problem printing K1 using 2025 tubotax business windows desktop

[nelsonquotes]

We completed our Partnership filings using 2025 tubotax business windows desktop edition and successfully efiled. When we went to send the generated PDF K1 package to business partner we noticed that the following error message would be displayed whenever we tried to look at the filing generated K1 forms.

We tried all permuations in trying to generate a clean K1 form with no luck. 

We tried to use the chat feature to investigate / report the problem on two separate occasions. Part way thru the 1st the support person terminated the chat. At no time did I get the feeling that either customer support person felt like this was a problem with their software. 

I even tried to transfer the pdf file to a brand new clean windows desktop box and the problem was worse... nothing was display for the K1.

Has anyone else had a problem with their 2025 turbotax business K1 forms?

Has anyone found a workaround?

In FORMS mode, I could view the form and choose 'Print' at the bottom.  In the pop-up screen, I chose 'Preview Print Copy'.  

Another window opened, 'TurboTax Print Preview' where I could scroll through the pages, then selected the Printer icon at the upper right.

Thanks... I tried all of the permutations and whenever you scrolled to the K1 portion of the PDF file I received the error message. The chat support were very thorough with trying everything but nothing allowed me to generate error free PDF files that included a K1.

I didn't try to print the whole return PDF,  just the K-1 PDF (5 pages) through FORMS.  Used 'Open Form', typed in K-1 so I was viewing just that form.  In the print selection/preview pop-up, i was just viewing that form.

Have you tried uninstall/reinstall Adobe?

Sure did based on suggestion from chat support person... no difference

Apparently something in the PDF form generation is off, could be based on data but our filing situation is pretty vanilla.

I transferred one of the PDF files to a brand new windows 11 box and the problem was even worse... it wouldn't render the K1 form at all.

The 2nd support person had me open the PDF file using the File / Preview option and there was no warning displayed but there is no way to print from this page. Maybe someone could look at how the file / preview is different than just generating PDF.

I got the same issue.  Print all works for everything except K1's.  I get blank pages within my PDF.  I have efiled and am now worried my K1s did not get included.

Appears to be some type of rendering issue. I saved the PDF, and emailed it to someone else who opened it with Bluebeam, and all of the K1 data was there fine.

I am having the same issue. The first page of the K-1 is blank and the other pages are ok. It’s just the first page that is not displaying.  Anyone have a fix for this or recommendation?

I have the same issue, only the first page of K-1 blank. I tried everything... it's not working.

I'm having the same issue as the others. No matter what workaround (attempted the same from in the past mentioned here), the first page of K-1's are blank. Even having to go into forms and override in the amounts the antiquated software doesn't update EVERY YEAR (5yrs in a row now). 

Every year with TT Business desktop the software is completely unable to do basic functions for the most simple filings, wastes tons of our time and stress already under filing pressure, and then doesn't even allow us basic capabilities to workaround like manually filling in and generating the forms. 

Despite paying the ridiculous license cost for the same 2000s level software, now we get the pleasure of being directed to a trash AI bot on the contact line telling us we have to pay an additional $60 for expert premium to even start to inquire on fixing their constant software errors. We were at least able to speak to a human in prior years with software tech issues. Intuit has become cheap, hot garbage.

Same exact issue. Were you able to find a workaround?  K1's blank, or when reviewing the error message pops up once you reach the K1 section.  Also for all individual K1's.

Received an email asking if problem resolved… tried TurboTax Business again yesterday, there were no new updates, and the same problem occurred.

Based on the number of other users having the same problem, and the sensitivity of the problem (this could be perceived by thousands of non tax people as a problem since the K1 is sent to the business owners not some tax entity) I would hope that TurboTax would look into this as a problem.

Add me to the list. Same issue.

If I choose to "Distribute K-1s" from the TT "File Tab", then choose either print or save as pdf, page 2 (the K-1 form pg. 1) is blank.

[LauraK1]

Same here.  When I did return a few days ago it was fine.  Now blank page on K-1s.  Afraid to e-file in case it is blank to IRS.  Hoping a update from Turbo Tax will fix this soon.

I have a partnership and an LLC treated as a partnership.  No K-1 with partnership but K-1 with the LLC.  Did the partnership return a few days ago and LLC today
