After you file

@ edjager 

Why are you wanting to file by mail?   We might be able to help you efile, which is normally better and much faster for getting a tax refund.   In any case, here's how to get a copy:

 

Log in and scroll down to "Your Tax Returns & Documents." Expand that section and choose tax year 2019 and then "download/print the PDF."    If that is unsuccessful or has incomplete documents, see this way to open the return back up and print at the Print Center.

 

NOTE:  When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed.  If you later have to amend the return, it has to start off exactly as it was when it was originally filed.   If you haven't actually filed it, you can edit it before filing.

 

  • Log in and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2019, look for a link "Add a State."
  • Click on "Add a State."  (you don't really add one.  That's just to open your return back up.)
  • After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.
  • Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return."
  • The next screen should offer some options:  "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"
  • See if one of those PDFs has what you need.  The latter has the most pages for your records.
  • If filing by mail, however, do NOT mail the worksheets and extra pages.  Only include the forms needed in your return ("Just my returns").
  • There should also be a page called "Filing Instructions."


NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents and tax 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.
