How can I get my electronic filing instructions after I submitted my return?

My downloaded copy only has the completed forms, not the TurboTax summary pages. My printer ran out of ink, and I'm missing the federal electronic filing instructions.

You didn't say what your efile status is. If your efile status is still showing "pending", it might not let you do the steps below. But once accepted, you should be able to do it.

Here's how you can get your most up-to-date PDF with the worksheets, filing instructions, summary pages, etc. You can re-open your return interview and go to the Print Center, where you can choose from various PDFs.

NOTE: When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed. If you later have to amend the return, it has to start off exactly as it was when it was originally filed.

Log in and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2025, look for a link "Add a State."
Click on "Add a State." (you don't really add one. That's just to open your return back up.)
After the return interview is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.
Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return."
The next screen should offer some options: "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"
The latter has the most pages.

NOTE: Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc. Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.
