    To print your return using TurboTax Online, please follow the instructions below:

    1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax Online if you haven't already
    2. Select File in the left menu
    3. You'll see 3 steps. Complete Steps 1 and 2 if you haven’t already, then select Start or Revisit next to Step 3
    4. On the We've determined the easiest way to file your taxes screen, select Change next to your federal return, and select File by mail on the next screen. Be sure to Save.
      • If the File by mail option isn’t available, you probably previously selected to pay your TurboTax fees through your tax refund. In order to file by mail, you’ll need to instead pay with a credit or debit card. Here’s how to change your payment method from pay by refund, to pay by credit or debit card. Once you change your payment method, you'll see the File by mail option as described above. Select this and continue to Step 5
        (If you're using the Free Edition of TurboTax: You obviously won't have to pay, but you might be asked to register. Just follow the instructions on the screen after selecting File by mail as above)
    5. Repeat step 4 for all of your state tax returns
    6. Follow the instructions to print your return. If you haven't already paid any outstanding TurboTax fees, you'll be prompted to do so before you can print

    To print through TurboTax Desktop, please follow the instructions below:

    1. Open the return you want to print
    2. From the File menu (or TurboTax menu if you're on a Mac), choose Print
    3. In the pop-up window, select the form set you want to print (tax return, specific forms, etc.) and then select Preview Print Copy (on Mac, select your print options and then select Continue)
    4. Your forms will open in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Select the "printer" icon from the menu to open the print window, then after making any adjustments in the window, select Print at the bottom

    You can also print directly from a saved PDF of your return by double-clicking the PDF to open it and then following the instructions in Step 4.
