After you file

Do you have a PDF copy of your 2018 return? I assume you do so open your return in Adobe Acrobat.

 

Scroll through the return. You want to print the 1040, Schedules 1-5 (if you have them, most people don't have all of them), and any other IRS forms, like Schedules B, C, SE, E, etc.

 

You do not need to print the filing instructions or the worksheets (I think all of them say "Worksheet" at the top).

 

If there are printed copies of your W-2 or any 1099s, then also print those. In Acrobat, you can choose which pages you print by choosing the page or range of pages in the print dialogue.

 

 

Otherwise, if you used the CD/download software in 2018 and still have it, open your .tax2018 tax file and click on the link Print Center at the far upper right (hard to read). Choose the first option "All official forms required for filing". Save them as a PDF (with a different name from the previous PDF), and then open the PDF and print them. You should now have only the forms required for filing (but it's good to have the full document set for your own records).
