Error 10261 when saving your return as a PDF file

When attempting to save your tax return as a PDF file, Error 10261 occurs.

This can occur when your printer's default settings prevent it from creating your PDF file.

Solution

  1. Exit TurboTax, reopen the program, and try saving again. This usually solves the problem.
  2. If you're still getting the error, you can try changing your default printer if you have access to a second printer. Then repeat Step 1.
