2020 taxes no signature ??

In previous years, Turbo Tax prompted me to enter an e-signature and date for both my wife and I.

This year, it asked for Drivers License info, does this count as a signature?

I looked on the PDF i downloaded of our tax return and there is no signature or date on it.  I don't want to delay my return, any ideas if the return is acceptable?  It's already submitted.

Been using TT for probably close to 15 years, love the product but found this weird, unless I overlooked something.

The 2019 AGI you entered on the e-filed 2020 return is your e-signature.  There is no physical signature on an e-filed tax return.

Sounds like you sped past the screen that asked for your 2019 AGI-- unless you transferred 2019 into 2020 and it was already there for you.   Your signature is electronic---it is your 2019 AGI or PIN.

 

There is never a physical "signature" on an e-filed return.   If you are asked for a "signed" copy by a lender, etc someday you take out a pen and sign it to keep them happy.

Is there a way i can check on the PDF version if included the 209 AGI or not?

If you did not enter your AGI or entered the wrong AGI your return will be rejected and then you can fix it and re-file.   If the IRS accepts your e-file then there is no further reason to worry about it.  You cannot make any changes while it is in pending.
