Unable to Print California Fiduciary Return in TurboTax Business

[Steven Davis]

I can't print my business (trust) tax return for California (one of them). The other one did (I have 2 trusts). SW says "form not available"... already purchased CA fiduciary return and it is clearly there.

All updates updated.

Both state and federal forms have been reviewed and are OK - ready to file.

Forms are visible in the "editing" view for data input.

Does the form that says "not available" show available on the State list:

State forms availability table for TurboTax Business

If this is the case, we recommend that you sign up within TurboTax to be notified when your form is ready. When you try to print a form that's not available yet, you'll get a message with the option to sign up.

Please click on Review, on the left menu.  You may see a message "Some of your tax forms are not ready".  Below the message, you can select the link that says "I want to sign up for email notifications. 

If the form is in fact available and you have already updated, please try to Uninstall TurboTax for Windows and Reinstall TurboTax for Windows

Manually update TurboTax for Windows here.

For assistance with this, you can call TurboTax and speak with an agent.  TurboTax customer service/support does not have a single phone number but has many different phone numbers based on the type of platform used.  So that we can direct your call to the best person/department to help you:

1. Click on this link: Contact Us
2. Select your TurboTax platform.  
3. Ask your question / state your problem.  Do NOT use the word "refund' or you will get a phone number for tax refunds.
4. Click Submit.
5. On the next screen, choose the Call option and follow the instructions.  You will be given the approximate wait time.  

You'll get a toll-free number to a TurboTax expert who is specially-trained to handle your particular issue.

So, my ugly approach to fix this was to print this return page by page using the forms view tool.

NOTE: I had 2 fiduciary returns and one worked fine.
