Printing K-1s, including K-3s

So, a few days ago I made the huge mistake of printing to a printer the K-1s from a 1065 return. In years past this package would have been maybe 12 pages in total for all partners. Now, including the K-3s it is 333 pages. And today, I have discovered why. For each individual K-1, the program is printing 5 copies of the K-3. For EACH partner... 5 copies of the K-3 as backup to the K-1s. Needless to say, the K-3s are not small anyway.... each one is 18 pages each...... many pages with no information at all on them. Is there a reason why each partner needs to get 5 copies of the K-3? I don't recall seeing that.

Yes. ProSeries is now sponsored by HP Insta Ink program and WB Mason paper supply companies. The more you waste, the more you spend with them.

Answer - programming problem. Obviously you learned to print to PDF so you can print one copy.

Believe me, at some point I realized there didn't seem to be an end to the print and stopped it!

The same thing happened to me. First of all, I always print to pdf luckily. What I ultimately started to do was to print the K-1/K-3 for each partner separately using the "choose which forms to print" function. This also allows me to print fed and state K-1s for each partner to one file. It works better for me especially when there are multiple states involved. No collating of K-1s necessary. But I do have to print each partner separately.

On another note, does anyone have any idea when the K-3 input worksheet on the 1040 level will be available? My software jus says "in a future version."

Probably 99% of the time I print to pdf also. Just didn't make that choice this time. But, you know, even then, I wouldn't have immediately realized what the problem was really. I was actually today preparing an excel worksheet with the information needed only for this group.... formatting to the same format, etc. That's when I realized it was including 5 copies of the K-3 for each partner.
