I printed out my tax return to send in and there are various worksheets that printed as well. These are not to be sent to the IRS, correct?

Anything that says "worksheet" is just for me and not to be sent in, correct? Examples are "capital loss carryforward worksheet", Charitable contributions summary, Healthcare Entry Sheet. I'm sending in my 2015 tax return so can not efile. Some of these worksheets look important so confusing whether to send to IRS or not.

You are correct - anything that is labeled as a "worksheet" should not be submitted to the IRS or your state.

You will submit any pages that have Form xxxx (this will be a number) or Schedule x (this will be a letter) at the top of the page.

What about the 1040 worksheet which is signed at the end?

The Form 1040 is Not a worksheet.  It is the Federal Tax Return.

NO worksheets are sent to the IRS/state ... if you are mailing in the returns in the FILE tab choose to mail in the return then the correct forms will be presented for mailing along with the mailing intructions.   You can also use the  PRINT CENTER under the TOOLS options on the left side menu and choose to save the PDF of the return as filed only ...
