2020? E-filing for 2020 returns has been permanently closed since mid-October of 2021. The ONLY way to file a 2020 return is by mail. If you chose to print for mailing it will print out with just the pages you need to mail to the IRS. The IRS does not want 112 pages! If you are working on a 2020 return you must be using the desktop software since you can no longer use online to prepare a 2020 return. Choose that you will file by mail and it will print the pages you need.
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
And....expect it to take six months or more before it has been processed.
