Yes, you can save the PDF with just the filing copy...but right now, only for 2022 taxes
BUT not for 2021 and prior years..

What's going on?
During the active time for preparing and filing a particular year's tax return, you can save just the PDF of the filing copy. Thus, for 2022 taxes that we are working on, you can save a PDF of your bare-minimum filing forms, but just up until mid-late October of 2023.
After October, of each tax preparation year, TTX archives only the full thing....with all the backup worksheets....and that's the only choice you have from then on.
(Yes...we'd love it if TTX would do the programming to allow the smaller PDF at any time in the future, but they haven't done so ...yet)
Thus, you should save a PDF every year right after your e-file has been accepted and that will be just the smaller filing copy.
