How save/print 1040 pdf form as 2 separate (8x11) pgs ?

[akm]

The 'Form 1040' pdf  (image below) is saving/printing as one (pdf) page (image attached) with half the page showing signature line and id info above (normally separate page 1) and then lines 1 thru 23 ('Page2') below.

How to get 2 separate pages ?

Thanks,

Ps: Line 17 showing amount paid with extension, line 22  'Amount you owe.' = $0, but line 23 'Estimated tax penalty' showing an amount to be paid ?

Sorry you can't print the 2 pages separate.  At least not in Turbo Tax.  If you want to mail it you can probably get the separate pages from the IRS and copy the info by hand to them.   Why do you want two pages?

If you do not pay enough tax, you may have to pay a penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. Even if you are getting a refund you can still owe a penalty for not paying in evenly during the year.  Generally, most taxpayers will avoid this penalty if they owe less than $1,000 in tax after subtracting their withholdings and credits, or if they paid at least 90% of the tax for the current year, or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever is smaller. It is included in your tax due or reduces your refund.

You might be able to eliminate it or at least reduce it.  You can go to Federal Taxes tab or Personal tab, under Other Tax Situations and select Start by the Underpayment Penalties. You will answer a series of questions that may reduce or eliminate the penalty. Or you can elect to have the IRS figure the penalty for you.  It's form 2210.

It's under

If you have the desktop program you can switch to Forms Mode (click forms in the upper right (left for Mac)) and open the 2210 form.

ps....I had a refund once and still had a penalty for not paying in evenly during the year.

Thanks much for the reply/info!

The TT 1040 pdf pages 1 & 2 have never been combined in the past, although in 2017 there were 79 lines.

We just dont want to submit anything that may attract an audit 🙂

And regarding the 'penalty', we filed 4868-2018 and paid a 'Balance Due' which was over the amount needed to pay the 1040 'Total Tax', and the 'Business income' ('1040 - Sched C') was a 'loss'. 

Also the small business income is very low (and had 2018 income only during the 3rd quarter) with most general income from retirement account/s and part time employee wages with federal income tax withheld from all.

We have not needed to file 1/4ly payments in the past as there seemed to be an income threshold involved.

Checked your links, but still not sure what is happening, so guess we will do some more research before the 2019 filing and hope (and skip the 2210 IRS engagement form 🙂 ) for the best with the TT 2018 filing/docs.

Thanks again for you help!

Ps:  In the recent past (2017 etc) we filed separate 1040 and 1065 (with TT-Deluxe & TT-Business) and only able to import (for 2018) from the Deluxe file.  Business scaled down, so went with 'Home & Business' for 2018.

But if you needed to use Turbo Tax Business in the past you probably still need it.  You can't just switch it to schedule C.  What Business return did you file last year?  1065 or 1120 S or C corp?
