What happened to the Electronic Filing Instructions summary on my tax download?

[LindaS5247]

You can view or print your "TurboTax Electronic Filing Instructions" as follows:

For TurboTax Online:

1. Open your return
2. Select Tax Tools then Print Center
3. Select Print, save or preview this year's return
4. Check the boxes to indicate your federal and state returns
5. Choose to include Government and TurboTax Worksheets
6. Click on "View or Print Forms"
7. Your E-Filing Instruction Sheet should be the first page

For TurboTax Desktop:

1. Switch to Forms Mode by clicking on "Forms" in the blue bar at the top right of your screen
2. In your left panel scroll down to the bottom of your list of forms and 
3. Select "Filing Inst page 1 and 2"

I've tried this several times and it simply does not work (at this time, it has worked for me in prior years). All typical tax worksheets are included but the TurboTax summary and electronic filling instruction forms are simply not there.

Same here. I've had it in years past, and it's very handy when needing to find my AGI for the previous year when e-filing. I would really like to see the "Electronic Filing Instructions for your 2024 Federal Tax Return", which shows the 2024 Federal Tax Return Summary.

The Electronic Filing Instructions are NOT included in the full download.

It wasn't/isn't included in ANY download.

The page says "The specific issue you’re looking for has been fixed and the article you’re trying to access is no longer available. " Unfortunately, the issue hasn't been fixed as of Feb 23, 2025.

I tested both Safari and Google Chrome on my mac (Ventura 13.7.4) and the instruction and summary page was not included in the PDF. Do you know how to (re-)escalate the issue?

I'm starting to think these "high level" posters are bots. They continue to post the same advice despite several threads that report this method is NOT working for many people this year.

This is a known problem and it was estimated to be corrected on 02/22/2025.  That date came and went without a correction.  Spoke with a TurboTax Moderator of this forum and they said it was a known issue but the development team would not provide a fixed date for correction.  

My thought is to see if the correction happens on 02/27/2025 since Thursdays are the usual day that the developers will have a software release.

I'm looking for them too.  They are very handy and have been there for years prior to now.

The above does not solve the problem on my on-line Turbotax as of 2;00PM PST on 02/23/2025!

Using the TurboTax online editions the Filing Instructions page is not currently available.  This is a known problem and is being worked on to fix.  Unfortunately we do not have a firm date when this will be fixed.

Suggest try again on next Thursday, 02/27/2025, when the software updates are normally released.

Still no electronic filing instructions pages for 2024 returns as of March 1, 2025

@DoninGA 

It's March 1, 2025. The bug is not fixed yet. @DoninGA said it's a known issue, but there is no tracking info. Could  you re-escalate the issue as "not fixed" so that it is tracked properly? Thanks.
