State tax filing

Q. Doe TurboTax (TT)  store copies of actual fed tax documents when my return is filed electronically?

A. No. 

 

TT does have your actual tax forms (1040, Schedule 1, etc.).  But, TurboTax (TT) does not have your W-2 1099s, 1098s etc (in either the on-line or desk top versions). However, it does have a "facsimile", if you typed in (or imported) those documents when you prepared your return. If all you need is the information from your forms, you can get that from the facsimile (e.g. W-2 worksheet), found in the list of forms. Every bit of information on your actual form will be on the TT worksheet. Whether whomever you need to show your form to will accept the worksheet instead; you'll have to ask them. Your employer is the best source of an actual copy of your W-2. For more options, see:
