@ dtx_wuero-p  Sorry to take 3 comments to answer your question.  I keep thinking of things.  🙂   If you can't or don't want to use the options above, if it turns out you are unable to efile by the April 15 deadline, you can either apply for an extension before that due date, or you can file by printing, signing, dating, and postal mailing your return.   It has to be postmarked by April 15, and if you go that route, it's recommended to mail by a method that has tracking.    It can take several weeks to process a mailed paper return.   An extension request (due by April 15) extends the time for filing the return.  However, it does NOT extend the payment due date.  If you have any taxes owed (tax due), then you still have to pay it by the April 15 deadline.

What is a "certified" CO return? If you did it in TurboTax, it's self-prepared. The best you could do is print out a copy, sign and date. If you e-filed, you can also print out the e-file acceptance. 

If you got a W-2 it's most likely that your employer contributed to an HSA for you. Look for box 12 code W. That's the HSA contribution. Your employer can contribute, and you not, but it's treated as if you contributed.  If it's not on your W-2 and since you didn't contribute directly, it's possible someone misfiled something using your SSN. Rad the notice and proceed as directed if you disagree.
