Hi The Explorer,
Welcome to Community! It's important that you're able to print and file your sales tax return in QuickBooks Desktop without delay. I'd be glad to assist!
Based on what you've described, I suggest updating your QuickBooks product to the latest release. If you get the same result, download the QuickBooks Tool Hub, to fix common errors. Should you continue to experience the same outcome, please contact us outside of Community. It would be our pleasure to work with you in real-time and ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks goals as soon as possible!
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach back out. We're always happy to help!
