After you file

Sorry but  YOU must download the PDF file and print the return to ink sign and mail.  No one else has access to your account. 

 

To get a copy of your 2018 tax return that you filed this year, sign back in to your account and either:

  • Select Download/print return if your return has been accepted.
  • Or scroll down to under Your tax returns & documents(select Show if needed) and Download/print return (PDF).
  1. Once your return has downloaded, locate the PDF and open it.
  2. Select printer icon at the top of the screen, or open the File menu in the upper-left corner and select Print if you see that.

 

 TurboTax does not mail your return for you.  You have to print it, sign it, and mail it yourself.  When you mail a tax return, you need to sign it on the middle  of the page where it says "Sign Here" and write in the date you signed it by the word "Date".  Attach copies of your W-2 and any other documents that show taxes withheld to the left side of the papers where it says "Attach Forms..."

 

When you print your return, it will print with filing instructions that tell you where to mail it.

It is not required, but is a good idea, to use a mailing service that will track your return or provide you with a receipt showing that the IRS got it--such as Fedex, UPS, or certified mail.

 

It will take about 4 weeks and then you can track the status of your return at the IRS website.

 

You can print your return by following the instructions below 

(Note:  Before you can print, your TurboTax fees must be paid)
