After you file

it's really important to rename the file you e-Filed or mailed, to include keyword FILED, immediately.


A Mac has an option to lock a file that prevents any modification.   As soon as I file and it is accepted I lock the data file.   I can copy it at will and play with it the copy all I want but the original can never be changed (unless it is manually unlocked).
