I need my federal and state tax return from last year. When I pull up my tax return it has hundreds of pages I don't need. Is there a streamlined version?

Not any longer for a "prior year" tax file.

If you save a copy before the Online software shuts down every year ...usually mid-October....then you have the choice to save a "file-only" PDF vs an "All Forms and Worksheets" PDF.

But once that tax year's software shuts down, all the data is moved to the "All Forms & Worksheets"  copy.

__________________________

TTX has to save millions of PDF files every year....so they don't want to save multiple copies.

So....remember to download those smaller PDFs every year, within a week or two after your e-filing was fully accepted.

You can select and print only the pages that you wish.
