Thanks, Nicole.

Are there insttructions for a manual way to get the filing instructions?

The issue with the filing instructions noted in February has been fixed in the meantime. If you are still not seeing them, you may need to clear your browser history or update your TurboTax software.

See this IRS webpage for instructions to paper file Federal returns.

See this TurboTax article for information to contact state tax agencies.
