The option to print a tax return becomes visible only after you pay for that specific return. After paying, the FILE menu lists the available print options. TurboTax Free users don’t have to pay to print a tax return, but will still need to go through the payment section to reach the print option.

Note that if you’d like to print and mail your 2021 tax return to the CRA, TurboTax’s print feature will become available on February 21 when NETFILE opens.

To print or save a copy of your current tax return for future reference, complete the following steps:

1. In the menu, select File, then select Print Your Tax Return
2. On the screen that appears, select the link to download a PDF copy of your return

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.

I don't know what is not being understood in my question.  I paid and downloaded my version of TurboTax.  All I want to do is print a paper copy of the information I have inputed so far.  It is not complete but I need to take information to the bank etc. and so forth to arrange RRSP loans and to my accountant to help me out on some complicated property sale issues.   Why, in God's name is it so difficult to be able to print a form or slip or the whole document that I might need.  AND WHY with the last date to be able to make an RRSP contribution coming in little over a week the program is not evenly fully functional until, what FEB 21???  This is a mickey mouse program and TurboTax should be embarrassed and shake their heads over this unacceptable non-functionality.  Just about any program on earth is easier to get an output from.  This program is clumsy and I swear was created in Russia.  

To make all this even worse is the lack of communication on the site and the silly useless responses received to date on my questions.  Shake your heads!!!!

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions.  However, i have paid nearly $80 for the downloaded program, and I spent over 4 hours one day on the internet searching for information on this problem.  On the TurboTax site there are no phone numbers, or on line chat advice.   Taxes are an extremely stressful and upsetting time of year for me.  When I see right-wing wing nuts trying to overthrow the government because they are upset with provisions and mandates made to protect the health and safety of themselves and their families, and then suggest their freedom is taken away they take the freedom to earn a living or live in quiet enjoyment of their homes for thousands if not tens of thousands of people and cause hardship on people that required a multi-million dollar policing bill, lost revenue at the borders and other court costs all born by the tax payers of Canada I become enraged and can barely stand to even look at TurboTax or attempt to complete my return as it will mean sending a lot of money, that as a retired person I don't have to Ottawa that will be paid for this insanity.  

These spoiled brats demonstrating in Ottawa and other parts that don't like wearing a mask or taking a vacine, you need to read some history.  The reason people had 18 children back in the early 20th century and earlier times was because 16 of them typically died from communicable diseases.  Children don't have immunity and until they had immunity or the adults around them did and weren't shedding viruses the life expectancy of children was very low.  Doctors and nurses wear masks all day long as part of their job.  Why was the insanity of this small group allowed to take over Ottawa??
