I'll tell you 3 ways to print. If the first 2 methods still have the
DO NOT FILE watermark, you'll need to use the third and more
complicated method.
Log into your account and go the 2016 Tax Timeline
Scroll to "some things you can do". You should be able to download/print the PDF, which is a basic version "as filed." Does that have the watermark?
If the regular PDF has the watermark, there should also be a link there for "download all forms and worksheets" . Does that second larger PDF have what you need?
If not, try this alternate method which is to open the return and print from the PRINT CENTER:
- In the 2016 Tax Timeline, go to Some things you can do.
- Choose Add a State. (you don't really add one; that's just to get the return to open up.)
- Once the return is open, then click on MY ACCOUNT up at the top.
- Then choose PRINT CENTER.
- Choose to print/save/view. You may have a choice for
a PDF "as filed" and one with "all forms and worksheets". I usually save both. See if one of those is free of the watermark.
NOTE: Do NOT use this method to open a return to make changes to an
already-filed return (one that has actually been mailed or efiled.)
If you later need to make changes, you have to
go through the formal amending process, and your return must start off
exactly as originally filed.
