The software-generated instructions for the Kentucky individual return say that the taxpayer must sign a 8879-K ... the state's version of the e-file authorization. However, that form does not get included in the PDF. The e-file instructions reference it, but the form is not generated. I called support and the agent had no idea.

    Kentucky, not KS.

    Sorry, I cut my index finger and typing is greatly hampered. 

    I just tried KY only state return and I get a client letter that say “Your 2025 Kentucky Individual Income Tax Return will be electronically filed with the State of Kentucky”. I do not see 8879-K anywhere, except when I click ALL for FORMS where I could force it to print.   I just did a quick sample return with rental income.  I added a w-2 with ky withholding and still no 8879-K. Maybe ​@IntuitKatie could rattle a cage or two.

    Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

    I see it under all forms also. Just can’t get it to print even if doing a partial print to PDF.
