I finished filing my taxes. I do not have a printer. How do I save a copy of my files on my computer?

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

 

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

NOTE:  TurboTax and the IRS save returns for seven years.  Returns older than seven years are purged.

Yes, you should still save a copy of your tax return even if you can't print it.

 

Here's how to do it:

 

1. Sign in to the account you used to file this year's taxes.
2. Select Your tax returns & documents and select Download/print return (PDF).
3. Select Forms to keep or review for your records and Tax return, all calculation worksheets, then Save as PDF.

If you also want to save a copy of the .tax file, here' how to do that:

 

1. Sign in to your TurboTax Online account and select Add State.
2. Select Tax Tools and then Tools from the left menu.
3. In the Tools Center pop-up, select Save your 2023 return to your computer.
4. The file will download with the name "taxReturn.tax2023".

 

The .tax file can only be opened in TurboTax software, but it's good to keep both in case you need to amend the return later.
