Are there pages in my TurboTax PDF export that are worksheets and I don't need to include?

I need to prepare copies of my tax returns showing that my Wife and I have jointly filed to prove our marriage for her permanent resident renewal process. I downloaded my 2022 return and it's 41 pages. My 2021 return is over 240 pages. I'm wondering if portions of the return can be omitted as they would be considered 'worksheets' rather than required pages.

Yes.........there is nothing below the "Tax History Report" that needs to be included....(unless they later ask for them specifically)

Ther can be a couple worksheets above the History report that are not used either...but those are labelled as Worksheets in their title.

When you print the return, you can select to "Print required pages" so it will only print what is needed. 

Please let us know if we can assist you further. @jdarling20

@CarissaM ,

i am using TurboTax online, not the desktop version. Is that still available to me?

Or is it possible for me to download the desktop version without any additional cost to then print out in this manner?

1)  Depends on what year you are trying to print.  For prior years that are archived already (2021 and before) you can only get the full PDF with the whole huge lot of forms.   So no...you can't get the filing copy only from your Oline account right now.

2) ...for your 2022 tax file, being prepared right now...you can get the filing-only copy...up until mid-late Oct, so get that  NOW.  Somewhere around the end of October, your 2022 file will be archived too, and then the only copy you can get is the whole huge thing.

3)  Yeah, it's possible to get the filing-only copy for 2021 by "buying" downloading and installing the 2021 Desktop software...as long as you have a full Windows or MAC computer,  which meets the minimum OS specs for the 2021 software. Then, downloading the .tax2021 data file from your Online account, then opening it in the desktop software...But that seems a lot of expense for something you probably do not need.
