 I spend last night more than 2 hours with pro-series support and still have this issue, I have a specific client with federal and 5 states and when sending to printer it shutdown and locks the client file, on previous versions of pro series   I was able to fix this issue with home base tuneup, but 2020 doesn't have it,  I already tried everything but still have this problem  , including doing all windows 10 updates, and problem doesn't go , it also has happen with other clients

What are the states? I know there was a report about one state doing this and its being investigated...I feel like it was a state that starts with an M maybe Michigan? (It didnt apply to my client base so I cant remember for sure)

I cant find the post about it, someone had reported it and Intuit was able to reproduce the crash so theyre working on a fix.   That's all I remember, sorry.

If the file locks after the crash,  it must be throwing a bad temp file in somewhere at the crash.  I think if you reboot it will unlock,

rebooting does not work , did it twice and it will still keep the client lock for a while.

I had same problem when printing a Michigan return.  per @Orlando  they are working on a fix........here is the conversation thread

Re: Program crashing when printing required Fed Fo... - Intuit Accountants Community

 

Try unchecking the box to included the "Federal Forms for State"   that's what stopped the crashing for me.
