When you e-file there is no physical signature on the tax form.  You "signed" electronically by entering your AGI.   If someone like a lender or a college wants a "signed" copy someday, use a pen, sign and date on the line that says "Sign here" and keep them happy.

You won't see your signature when you download your tax return.  You create a 5-digit to electronically sign your tax return.
