And when your print out to file by mail...be sure to use the Filing copy choice....only for the initial PDF. (though during the print/filing process that should be the main choice). Depending on your situation, that might hit 5-20 pages or so....but should not be a "behemoth".
That is just the tax return forms that are to be sent to the IRS, along with your W-2 forms and other forms showing withholding.
But a Behemoth??? Yeah, also save a PDF copy for your records, with a different name, that contains a lot of backup worksheets that the IRS doesn't want sent to them, but you want to see the details of what you've entered. That PDF selection is a separate selection, either during the print/file process, or accessing that separate option from the "Print Center". Don't print out that huge PDF, but make backups on a USB flash drive. I take a second copy of that file on a USB to my bank safe deposit box once a year...just in case some disaster happens at home that wipes out everything
