When I printed my return, why were there no electronic filing instructions for 2024

While there is an indication that the issue was resolved, there is no explanation that I can find on how to print the "Electronic Filing Instructions" pages that were included in previous years.  These sheets, one for Federal and one for State, provide simple tax return summaries for showing Adjusted Gross Income, Taxable Income, Total Tax, Total Payments/Credits, Amount to be Refunded or Due, and the Effective Tax Rate.  I have included a redacted version from 2023.  If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

 

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

Hi, I still cannot access the filing instructions, even after clearing my browser history.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, go to Forms mode by clicking Forms at the top, then when the list of forms appears on the left, click Open Form, and type "filing instructions".  The federal and state instructions will appear in the list to select.

 

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

This IRS webpage also includes Federal mailing instructions and contacts for the states.
