How do I save my return as a PDF in TurboTax Desktop?

Saving your return as a PDF lets you view and print your tax return outside of TurboTax.

Note: If your TurboTax navigation looks different from what’s described here, learn more.

1. Open your return in TurboTax.
2. Select File.
3. Select Print/Save for Your Records.
4. Choose to either Save As PDF or Preview Print Copy.

If you make changes to your original return, repeat these steps to ensure your .tax file and PDF copy are the same.

To print from the PDF file, open the PDF and select the printer icon. If you don't see this, try the tips in Adobe's Print PDFs support document.
