Don’t forget your state.

 If you completed your tax return using the free online version, and you had registered with the program as the final step, then, you should be able to download a PDF of your tax return, sign it, and mail it to the IRS. 

 However, if you had not completed your tax return, then the only way now to complete it is to purchase a copy of TurboTax to install on your own computer, download the data file, completed using the program on your computer, then print and mail it. 

Of course, you can always file for free by downloading the appropriate forms and instruction books from the IRS website and doing our tax return by hand.
