I have filed my 2017 Fed and State rtns but when I download the rtns all I get is 10 pgs Fed and 15 State. All prior yrs rtns are around 100 pgs. What is wrong?

The only Fed pgs that I receive are:

2018 Voucher pgs 1 to 4

1040 pgs 1 & 2

Sched B

Sched D pgs 1& 2

Form 8949 - Attachment 12A & pg2

I don't use the  online program so perhaps things are different between "online" and "desktop", but in the desktop program when I go to print my income tax return - and it's the "print" function that creates a PDF that I can look at or save - I'm presented with three options:

  1. Tax Return only
  2. Tax Return, key calculation worksheets
  3. Tax Return, all calculation worksheets

Option number 1 creates the smallest number of pages printed as it presents the income tax return I'm actually sending to the IRS.  Option number 3 creates the largest number of pages printed as it essentially is a dump of every single page where TurboTax scribbled even one number.  And option 2 is somewhere between option 1 and option 3 in size.

Sounds to me like you're selection option 1 here where in the past you probably selected option 3.

I have always used the online version and I have never been given the options that you say the desktop version presents. From your explanation of the desktop options it sounds like I am receiving option 1.
