Do Not Mail E file only

I moved to a new state, Illinois, and as a new resident must mail in the first years tax return. When I open the PDF version of my tax paperwork, the IL paperwork has a watermark stating "Do not mail E file only". This is only on the IL paperwork not on the other state's paperwork. How can I obtain a copy of the 1040 without this watermark so that I can mail it in?

Please state Turbo version CD or Online, Basic, Deluxe etc.

Try checking the "Print for your records" option to see if there is a watermark.

IL prefers efile and there is no such rule that you must mail your return. In fact, IL says this in the instructions:

Almost all taxpayers can file electronically. Visit mytax.illinois.gov or see your tax professional. If you do not wish to file electronically, you may use the paper Form IL-1040.

 

IL hasn't finished and not all forms are finalized for print. Please check forms availability here. Select online, Windows, or Macintosh from the drop down menu. Whenever the federal and states change a form, we have to as well. This happens throughout tax season.

Without an in-state ID, they must be filed by mail in the first year. Regardless, the paperwork (1040) is listed as ready for print as well as for E-file (on the Tax form availability), however the watermark on my tax forms prepared though turbotax still have the watermark present

Try closing TurboTax, clear your Cache and Cookies, and reopen TurboTax.  Also, make sure you have ran all updates.
