If you are getting an "Oops" error when trying to download/print your return from the Tax Timeline, try this alternate method to print by opening the return back up and printing at 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 this year's return." You may have a choice for
a PDF "as filed with government" and one with "all forms for government and worksheets" and one for "all forms." See if one of those PDFs has what you need.
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.
NOTE: Remember all downloaded PDF tax documents and data
files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID
info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc. Be sure
to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft,
hacking, etc.
