The prior tax years include all forms, schedules and worksheets in the PDF download.

You can save the PDF of the current tax year 3 ways until the end of October ... after that the files are archived and the ONLY option is the return with ALL the worksheets.  If you save a prior year return now you will need to use the PDF reader to select the forms you only want to print. 

 

Ironic thing is that it used to be reverse just a couple of years ago  ... you could only get the return as filed  and people complained and begged for the full PDF with the worksheets  and now folks complain they got the full PDF ... can't make everyone happy. 

 

It is always suggested to save the PDF 3 ways each and every year after you efile successfully for your records.

Look for the forms labelled "Attachment Sequence No.

Those plus 1040 are your tax return.

First no one says you must print off all the pages, just save them.  And IMHO it is better to have more than you need then less.
