Can I send my tax return to the IRS when it says DO NOT FILE? If not how can I get that off of my returns?

There is a try this in the link below to help you print out copies without the watermark if available.

The message DO NOT FILE or DO NOT FILE, FORM NOT FINAL will appear on your printout if:

  • The paper-filed (print) version of the tax form has not yet been finalized in TurboTax; or
  • Your federal return was printed before e-filing; or
  • Your state return was printed before your federal return was accepted by the IRS; or
  • The form is available but you haven't downloaded the latest update (CD/download versions only).  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899961
