Where do I find my signature page if I e-filed? My return simply states "self-prepared".

There is no signature on an e-filed tax return. You didn't sign the tax return when you filed it. If someone is asking you for a signed copy of your tax return, print a copy of the tax return, sign it with a pen on page 2 of Form 1040, and give them the signed copy.


A lot of lenders and college financial aid offices seem to be surprisingly ignorant about how e-filing works.

When you e-File your return is presumed to be signed.

Your e-filed tax return is electronically signed when e-filed with the 2020 AGI.  The tax return using the TurboTax DIY software is self-prepared by the the user of the software.

 

The tax return is only physically signed in ink on page 2 of the Form 1040 if the return is mailed to the IRS.
