When you complete the returns the first time you are offered the option to save and/or view the PDF of the return prior to filing ... it amazes me the number of users who do not save the PDF right then and there for referencing instead they expect to just access is later which cannot always be done.
When you file an amended return or add a state after the fed is filed the PDF on the landing screen usually doesn't have the entire PDF available and you have to "sneak" in the backdoor option to get to the full PDF prior to the close of the filing season in October.
At the end of October the system goes dark while the millions of returns are archived ... this blackout period lasts until the next tax year goes live in early December. Once the returns are archived you can ONLY get a PDF that includes all the worksheets ... prior to that you can save the PDF 3 ways ... as filed, with fed worksheets and with all worksheets. The program should educate and encouraged everyone to save the PDF all 3 ways for future reference and save the .taxfile in case it is needed later for amending.
