Question

How do I get a copy of my state tax return without the watermarks?

The form says do not file, form not final. Will the IRS accept it?

Many States are still finalizing their print to mail forms. I live in Indiana and they will not be ready until February 3rd.

When you open or attempt to print or save your PDF copy, you may have a Preview Only watermark on it. This typically occurs if you open the PDF while your return is still pending. It can also happen if you open the PDF shortly after your return has been accepted.
