Where to find the federal tax return summary? It was on a cover sheet named "Electronic Filing Instructions for your Federal Tax Return"? Tax return PDF doesn't have it.

Before filing the taxes I could see this cover sheet. After I filed, this cover sheet is removed from my tax return PDF.

Pls help out.

This federal tax return summary typically includes the following info:

  • Adjusted Gross Income 
  • Taxable Income 
  • Total Tax
  •  Total Payments/Credits 
  • Payment Due 
  • Effective Tax Rate 

I need it primarily to understand my Effective Tax Rate and compare against my previous TurboTax returns

 

Thx

Please try these downloading/printing instructions:

 

  1. In TurboTax Online, sign into your account.
  2. Select Tax Home in the left menu.
  3. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  4. Select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this opens the return back up)
  5. Select Tax Tools on the left and then Print Center and choose the print center
  6. Select returns and choose to print just the tax return or to include all worksheets as well.

Not everyone is using the online version. I am having this issue in April of 2025 for the 2024 tax year.

 

No cover/summary sheet or mailing instructions.
