Turbo tax issues

 just filed my 2023 taxes today, 01/26/2024, for Fed and SC.  There was a message saying:

"Your SC return(s) is currently unavailable to view, print, or download because of some of the forms haven't been finalized yet"  I click on "Notify me when my forms are ready." I enter my email and entered it again, clicked on "Sign Up" and I got the following message:  "Unable to load messageid No forms or products have been specified. Please close the window and try again. for en_US" I tried three times to no avail.

 

How do I sign up so I can know when my SC tax forms are available for me to print and to save?  Will Turbo Tax notify me?
There so many other problems with turbo tax this year including input wrong income number from W2.

Here's a list of South Carolina Forms that are available for Print and Efile. 

 

It appears that most forms are ready to print.  

 

If you're using TurboTax Online, close the program, clear your Cache and Cookies, then go back to the Print Center.

Thanks for replying.

 

I did not use Turbo Tax online. I still have issue with viewing and printing with message "Your SC return is currently unavailable to view print or download because some of the forms haven't been finalized yet."

Notify me when my forms are ready is not working.

Try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies, and reopen TurboTax.  Also, make sure you have ran all updates. You can also try a different browser.

Hi Holly. I'm from SC and encountered the same problems (and same error message) as you did after I had already e-filed taxes and they were received by both FED & SC. Seems like TurboTax has SC bug not resolved. You said you deleted SC state tax and started over to fix the problem. How did you do that if you already filed your tax return? I'm stuck like a bug in paint. Thanks in advance for any help.

@Retired Beach Bum  I am not certain what problem you are experiencing if you were able to file. Please clarify your question.

Hello CatinaT1 (Employee Tax Expert).

RE: See Following & Send to Software Team
1.  Unable to Print/Save South Carolina Tax Return
2.  Error Message after Completing "Sign Up For Email Notification."

Desktop TurboTax Deluxe 2023, Federal & State Tax Return [Amazon Exclusive]
Windows 11 Home

I am a long-time Turbo Tax user. I never encountered a problem in past years. You need to contact TT software development. This bug has affected other people.

Issue:
After I completed and E-filed both Federal & South Carolina tax returns on February 5, and they were accepted by each a few hours later, I am unable to Save/Print the South Carolina Tax Return. Only the 2023 Federal Tax Return can be printed/saved.

At the Print/Save Page it says, "Your South Carolina return(s) is currently unavailable to view, print, or download because some forms haven't been finalized yet."

When you click on the link = "Notify me when my forms are ready" you get "Sign Up For Email Notification." After you enter your email & confirm email, the following Error Message appears:
"Unable to load messageid No forms or products have been specified. Please close the window and try again. for en_US." I have tried multiple times over the last week, cleared cache blah blah blah - no fix.

Please Note: Both Federal & South Carolina Tax returns were e-filed, accepted, and Tax Payment from my bank was processed by South Carolina & Federal Return refund is scheduled. So, it appears the SC State Return was good enough with all necessary forms when e-filed.

Please Note: Also in this online thread, another user brought this exact problem to the attention of TT. This person encountered this SAME problem "BEFORE return was E-filed" and was discovered when they attempted to Print/Save BEFORE filing in order to first review the return. This person noted that they deleted the South Carolina return, installed new, went through process of completing return again, and this time there was no issue and was able to save/print both Federal and South Carolina State Tax Returns.

"I Can't Do" what the previous person did and delete SC form as I encountered the problem when I went to save/print my returns AFTER I e-filed and both returns were accepted. No clearing cache or other basic remedial recommendations will work.

I need to have Turbo Tax fix this problem with a software update specifically for the South Carolina Tax Return so that I can print/save my SC return which will also be needed next year when I file for 2024.

I tried to be as specific and concise as possible. Please have someone address this issue. Thank you.

With the exception of a few forms, you should be able to print your SC return. Since they were previously unavailable, please try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies if you are using TurboTax Online, and reopen TurboTax.  You can also try a different browser.

 

Also, make sure you have ran all updates. 

 

If you are using TurboTax Desktop, check for updates under the Online Tab.

 

Once you have followed these steps, can you tell me if it solved your problem?

 

Use this tool to look up when your individual tax forms will be available in TurboTax. You can search by TurboTax product and for IRS or state-specific forms.

I am extremely disappointed in your reply. I took a great deal of time and effort to tell you specifically about the problem that I (and others) are having with the South Carolina tax return this year. All you did was give me a canned reply that I've seen many times over on this site. You did not read my post.

 

Please forward my previous message to your superiors. This problem is not an isolated problem.

 

I'll let others know of this problem on an Amazon review and other online media.

Same issue here.  Using the Installed App (NOT THE WEB VERSION) on Windows 11.  Software is up to date as of 2/16/2024 1:16PM EST.  Print window says "Your South Carolina return(s) is currently unavailable to view,  print, or download because some of the forms haven't been finalized yet".  When I click on Notify me when forms are ready, it jumps to my browser and an error message appears ... 'Unable to load messageid No forms or products have been specified. Please close the window and try again. for en_US".

I hope they fix this problem with their program this year and it appears it may be specific to the South Carolina return. TurboTax technical support is useless - good at only giving canned replies (clear cache, cookies, etc, for novices). I have used TurboTax for over 10 years and 4 years in South Carolina. This year is the first year that I have experienced a problem - one that many others have as well. The measure of a company isn't just when all things go well, but how they address a problem with their product when one occurs. On this matter, so far, TurboTax response has been an Epic Fail. Whether I continue to use them for a 12th year depends if they fix this problem soon with an update.

I have the same issue as Holly. I can’t print my South Carolina tax return. Even worse, I am filing a Massachusetts part year resident return (we moved to SC in the Spring and I need a copy of my SC returnto fire with my MA return.

is the problem with SC or Turbotax? TurboTax needs to get its act together. Beyond frustrating . . .

I have the same problem as Retired Beach Bum. I filed Federal and SC returns and Fed and SC returns were accepted. Payment to SC was processed by my bank. I can’t print my SC return and get same message about forms as Retired Beach Bum.

Even worse, I can’t file my part year return with MA without my SC return. Nor can I file for a resident real estate tax status.

‘HELP.

I just spent 1 hour plus with a TurboTax expert who was very accommodating and tried EVERYTHING. After consulting with higher ups he gave me the bad news. There is nothing I can do to print a copy of my SC return because the program DIDN’T SAVE IT when it was transmitted to SC. All the information is there, but it won’t save a pdf  to my hard drive and won’t print (possibly because SC estimated tax forms aren’t available—although the estimated tax forms for 2024 appear to there in the forms menu. Bottom line, THIS IS A MAJOR CODING PROBLEM

The agent suggested I call SC and ask them to send me a copy of my SC return! What are the odds of that working!

TurboTax needs to fix the problem it created!! What a fiasco.

Joe68,

I agree with you on that. Turbo tax this year has caused me so much headache that I have to go back and check every entry that made because it inputs wrong income from my W2 to start with. I was lucky to find out that it couldn't save or print my SC state tax before I submitted otherwise, I would have a lot more headache..I always saved my taxes and looked over carefully before submitting them. Good luck on getting your tax straight.

To print South Carolina state return after filing 2024:

launch Turbo tax and select "continue" your return 

Go to Forms view

Scroll down to state form "Estimated Wks" (this is form SC1040ES)

Scroll to part III (rounding and printing options)

Select " Do not print vouchers"
Click on Print Center at the very top of the screen (Dark gray)

You should be able to print and save as PDF from here.

This post exactly describes my issue with TT and SC tax forms. I've cleaned out cache and restarted PC but as of today 2/10/25 the problem is still there. Sure would be nice to hear from TT about this.

Agree 100%. Got the same canned response over the phone and told the rep I didn't appreciate a canned response. She kept trying to pass off herself as a tech expert. Think Best But would have provided better help. Shame TT is so invisible on this.

Dear Beach Bum -- just noticed the date on your post = 2024. I'm having the same issue this year so how if ever did TT resolve your SC issue? So far what you described last year including your contacts with TT match 100% with my experience this year. Any help will be appreciated.
