Is there a document as proof of previous year tax filing? I downloaded the previous year documents, but they are not signed. I need to send the tax filing to state IRS.

Since I did efile the downloaded documents are not signed, is state IRS going to accept these documents? I don't want to sign today since it will be incorrect. This is about state income tax.

If you are mailing a tax return you have to sign it in ink.  Why is it incorrect?

Hi, 

This is about 2018 tax return which I need to send to Illinois state as a proof that I paid taxes in NJ in 2018. When I download a copy of my 2018 filed tax return from Turbotax, the signature line is empty since I e-signed when I filed my taxes in 2018. 

Should I send the copy to Illinois IRS without sign OR sign it with todays date. I don't know if any of these options are correct.
