Printing should have nothing to do with new billing. Right now, I'm trying to print a 2023 and 2024 return for a client. I have a few of these stragglers. 

I already paid for the returns in that I have remaining credits. 

Printing should have nothing to do with e-filing. Frankly, you should trust us on printing because none of us are mailing returns; they must all be e-filed so you'll get your money when e-filing opens.

I hate the idea of billing a client for two years of returns that he can't see for a month even when they're complete now. I also dislike waiting a month to get paid for the work, so I have to bill him and explain that Intuit won't let us print a return until e-filing opens. Since that restriction makes no sense to me, I doubt it will make any sense to you.

I should be able to print, but not e-file until you have payment. 

Speaking of e-filing I'm not happy that Intuit cut off e-filing four days ahead of the IRS announced schedule!!! Since when does it take Intuit four days to send returns to IRS??? They usually move out in hours. That left me with a couple of 2022 holdouts who will now have to mail their returns. 😮
