QB Desktop - Saving Tax Form PDF to non standard location RESOLVED

RESOLVED:

Thanks

It appears after i saved a FEDERAL form (not state) all is well and it retains the new save location.  I posted after doing only a state form.  After doing Federal, it resolved itself

 

 

 I have moved my Quick Books company file to a "non-standard " file locattion on the D drive, not C drive when I moved to a new computer, as per all the discussion topics I could find. Company is working fine in new location.  I would like to move my saved tax filings to the same non-standard folder tree.  When I create a file and select SAVE AS PDF - it defaults to the C (standard install) location.   I select the location I want it in (D drive) and save it.  It DOES NOT SHOW UP in saved filings and if I try to save again, it is back to the orignal default location on the C drive.  Has to be a way to change or keep the default location I want, not what Intuit defaults to

I have on the D drive where I want a path of \DOCUMENTS\INTUIT\xxx TAX FORM HISTORY\states

Pretty much identical the C: path it is trying to use incorrectly

Thanks in advance

I can not help with the QB issue in save pdf

 

I print to pdf, have since forever, and it remembers the last place saved to.  If you do not have adobe suite with the pdf printer, cute pdf and other free utilities do

Thanks for joining the thread, @dweberii.

 

You'll want to install Adobe Acrobat Reader to view or print PDF documents. This is the built-in application for printing or saving files in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you wish to convert the PDF file, you'll want to check for a suitable converter for it to be printed in a different file format. You can also check it with an IT specialist to help you.

 

Using Adobe Reader, you can print, save, and email copies of filed tax forms in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

If you have saving and printing issues with PDF Files, there are some ways to troubleshoot it.
