Why don't we get copy of worksheets for federal and state return 2018 when we file our returns so we have for our record

Prior year returns when we filed we received worksheets for federal and state returns. I am trying to find out the date I had requested for state income taxes to be paid when I e filed, but when I go to print my return there is nothing there.

You can locate the worksheets that were included in your tax return by accessing a complete copy of your tax return from the Print Center. The PDF file of your tax return that is located on the tax home page will not include the worksheets.  Please note: this may not work until your return has been accepted.

Please take the steps below to obtain a complete copy of your tax return which would include all worksheets:

  1. Sign in to your account (if you haven't already done so), using the same login you used to file your return.
  2. Scroll down to My Tax Returns and Documents and click on show.
  3. Next scroll down and click on Add a State (you are not really adding a state, this will allow you to get back into the program.)
  4. In the left side panel click on Tax Tools then click on Print Center.
  5. Next select Print, save or preview this year's return.
  6. Then select the option to print your 2018 federal and state returns (shortest version). You can also select the option to Include government worksheets (optional) (medium-length version) and/or You can also select Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional) (longest version). Then select View or print forms.
  7. This will allow you to print your complete tax file.
  8. Once you have finished printing, click on Tax Home in the left side bar to return to the home page and click on Sign Out in the lower left corner when you are ready to exit the program.

In the future ... as you complete the FILE tab and you are given the chance to review and save the PDF with and without the worksheets please do so at that time otherwise you will need to break into the return to get them before the close of the filing season ... after 10/15 the only option that will be available  is the larger one with all worksheets.
