I used the "Download/Print Return"
I'm not that familiar with the online version. However, I do believe you have serveral choices.
- Save forms required for filing
- Save forms for your records
- Save everything
My wording of the options above may not be exact. But basically, when you elect to save "everything" to your computer as a PDF file, that will save the tax return along with all worksheets and calculation forms. That will make the PDF have over 100 pages in some cases. But with that particular option to save everything, that will include the electronic postmark certification.
Also, be aware that the certification will not be there until some time "AFTER" the IRS has accepted your return.
With the desktop version you have to open the program and then "check status" before the program will generate that form. I don't know if it works the same way with the online version though.
