The tag below your question indicates that you are using the desktop TurboTax software. If so, what's included in the PDF from TurboTax depends on the options that you selected when you saved the PDF. It does not show what was sent to the IRS or the state.

Once you have entered all of your tax information into your TurboTax Online account, you need to click on FILE (located in the left panel of the program) and walk through the 3 steps.  This is where you enter your 2023 AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) as it serves as your electronic signature.
