Your tax return is only the pages that have a box at the top right with an OMB number and an attachment sequence.  Everything else is a worksheet (either IRS or Turbotax) that was not part of the tax return. 

 

If you have a PDF of your tax return and want to remove excess pages, there are several PDF editor programs that can do that.

I don't know what you want this for.  There is no such thing as a "summarized tax return" (for 2019 or any other year).  There is your tax return (forms required to be sent to the IRS or the state) and there are worksheets used by the IRS and by Turbotax to help calculate your tax numbers, but which are not an official part of the tax return.  

 

If you want to know which pages were part of your official tax return, they are the ones with the box in the top right that has an attachment sequence and an OMB number.

 

If you want to know which worksheets are the most important and which worksheets are less important, I can't tell you that.  It depends on what you are doing with them and why you want them.
