Hello, I have used TurboTax for several years, with the same tax situation, and have not had this problem before. I believe there's an error in your software.

I have 4 rental properties, which requires 2 pages of Schedule E (3 rentals on the first page, 1 on the 2nd page). When I turn my tax return into a PDF, the 2nd page of Schedule E is missing. The program has calculated all 4 properties, but only shows the 3 properties in the PDF version.

Without a PDF version, I can't print the tax return for my records. Also, I'm not confident the 2nd page will be efiled to the IRS.

HELP!!!

I find it refreshing to come across someone who realizes the importance of printing a hard copy of their tax return.

Par chance, did you receive a form K-1 for any one of those rentals? If you did, then I can explain your situation of why you won't have a 2nd copy of page 1 of 2 of the SCH E. But I am going to assume you did not receive a K-1 and reported the entirety of all rentals on your personal 1040 tax return. It would help you know if you're using the online version of the desktop version of TTX 2023. My guidance applies to the desktop version, as I've never used the online version.
First, check the PDF again. It's perfectly possible the two SCH E's were not saved back to back. For example, the first one could be page 17 and the 2nd one could be page 78 in the PDF document. If not present anywhere in the PDF:

In TTX under the print and file tab elect the opton to "save everything". Not just the "forms for your records" and not the "forms required for filing". You want to save absolutely everything to PDF. Do that, then search that PDF for both SCH E forms, keeping in mind they may not be saved back-to-back.

If still not found, does your state tax personal income? If so, what state? It's perfectly possible there's something unique about a specific rental property that requires a specific state form that may not be ready yet.

Hello! Thanks for your response. First, I'm using the desktop version.

Secondly, I tried your suggestions, including every option under print/PDF, with no success.

However, as luck would have it, the 4th property is located in PA, which has state income tax. The other 3 are in a state without state income state. So, I see there's a PA Schedule E for this property (in the state income tax form), but still no Sch E, Page 2, in my federal return.

I see someone else on this forum is having a similar problem with Sch E, page 2, with more than 3 properties.

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts/suggestions.

I just got a reply from TurboTax that makes absolutely no sense. Even if federal rules have changed (which I doubt), we still need to be able to print these forms for our own records and for including in state returns. There is currently no way to do this.

Thank you for contacting TurboTax Support.

Here is the information we discussed during our call:

We reached out to our licensed Tax Advisors and they stated " there is a new rule for filing schedule Es where they don't need to send in the forms for properties that have already been reported in prior years. Confirmed not a defect. It will only show the newest properties. "

I suggest everyone experiencing this needs to call TurboTax and escalate this.
