Cannot view 2019 tax return

Unable to view or print my 2019 tax return.  If I select download I get a form that is unreadable (a bunch of letters, symbols, etc).

You need a PDF reader to read it.

1) if the file downloaded with the file extension ".tax2019" then that is the wrong file...you downloaded the datafile...go back and find the PDF file.

2) if the file extension is ".txt"   then edit the filename to be ".pdf" and it should then read/open OK with a normal PDF reader.   A PDF download that comes down with a ".txt" extension is  problem with some EDGE browsers...either change the extension after downloading, or use Chrome or IE11 to download the file instead.

I have also listed some instructions and troubleshooting help below depending on if you are trying to print before or after you have filed:
