I have contact Intuit support and asked when I will be able to print but can't get a straight answer. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I do not currently see any outstanding forms for South Carolina e-file at this time. If you are using a downloaded or installed version of TurboTax, please go to the Online menu and check for updates.

If you are using the online version of TurboTax, please logout of the program, clear your browser cache and cookies (in browser settings or Ctrl+Shift+Delete in Chrome) and then restart your browser and see if that will clear this error for you.

If the error persists, please let us know so we can assist in further troubleshooting.

Susan, thank you for your response. To be clear, I was able to efile my SC return. What I am unable to do is print a copy of my return or save a copy of my return as a pdf so that I can look it over. The link you provided says that Form SC1040ES won't be ready for print until 3/7/2024. My SC return does have that form included.

I am using the desktop version of TurboTax Premiere and have all the current updates. See screenshots below.

I have the same problem with Ohio. My Federal return was e_mailed and already accepted.

Same printing error notification happens in 2024 returns for SC when filing by mail. Forms not finalized. Will there be a SC software update in the next few days?

Received the same today, 23Feb25:

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."

As a possible work around, see this post in community from last year: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/successfully-printed-south-carolina-2023-income-tax-return/01/3196997#M156765

To save and/or print both Federal & SC state return after filing:

Launch Turbo tax and select "continue" your return
Go to Forms view
Scroll down to SC 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
On "What Forms Would You Like to Generate?
Select "Forms to review or keep..."
Select "Tax Return, Key Calculation Worksheets
You should be able to print and save as PDF
The PDF File Saved/printed will include both Federal & SC State Returns all in one.
Click File Save before exiting program.

I'm having the same issue. SC DOR says all forms are available so it must be a Turbo Tax issue. I can't get a straight answer, either.

This has NOT been fixed for tax year 2024. I had the same problem. I do not estimate my taxes each year. Instead, I adjust the federal and tax deductions on my 1099 income accounts (when necessary, usually not) to make sure I have had enough tax taken off so that none will be due. This year I had a very small amount due to SC due to some unexpected income and TurboTax would not allow me to either print or save as a pdf my return before e-filing. The fix is to go into your SC state return and edit the section dealing with 2025 estimated taxes. If TurboTax sees that an amount will be due for tax year 2025 based on your SC state tax prepayments made for 2024, it won't let you do any printing or saving to a pdf until it receives the final South Carolina form SC1040ES1 (1st quarter estimated SC tax) on March 6, 2025. However, if you either lower your income estimate for 2025, or raise your prepaid tax estimate for 2025, so that there will be no additional SC tax due for tax year 2025, then you can print or save your forms before transmitting, as it should be. However, the printing or saving as a pdf only worked when being in the Forms menu and selecting Print or Save As PDF from the dropdown menu there. The button to Print Your Forms within the final steps before online transmitting your taxes would still "hang up" even after making this change. My Federal and SC state forms did submit correctly and the forms which I saved as a pdf after making this change were correct. TurboTax really needs to fix this for the future. I called TurboTax tech support 4 times on this over a 2-week period and they were unable to tell me a workaround or solution.
