    1040NR printing errors

    Preparer’s name on 1040NR printing issues. See picture attached.
    Paid preparer’s name prints over the Firm’s name on the client’s copy of the 1040NR. Is there a way I can stop the software to print the preparer’s name on the return?

    @OCEnAgent  you can choose NOT to print the preparers name on the form,   

     

    Tools > Options > Firm & Preparer Info, uncheck the box that says Print Name in Signature Area.

    That box is unchecked, it still prints my name on the 1040NR.

    So that must be part of the programming problem, its not respecting that option either.

    @DCI @h0250722 are you both having the exact same issue as @OCEnAgent ? ("Preparer's name on 1040NR printing issues") .. please keep us posted.

    Yes, its the exact same issue for me too. Checking or unchecking the box to print the preparer's name doesn't change anything, and the preparer's name is printed over the firm name.......

    When can we expect any resolution to this issue? I have reported it many days back......

    Does it still do that when you 'print' it to a PDF?

    The printing has been screwed up for the last few years, especially with State returns, and it only works if you 'print' it to a PDF first.  I'm sick of going through the extra steps because Intuit won't fix it.  Maybe @Intuitjhaze can push somebody to start working on all of the printing problems.

    Yes it happens when printing to PDF. Also its only with the 1040NR - not with the other forms
