The 2020 PDF will include all forms, schedules, worksheets and information only pages for the federal and state tax return (if a state return was completed.

The 2021 PDF now only includes those forms and schedules required to file a complete federal and state tax return.

After the TurboTax online editions are discontinued at the end of October and about 6 weeks later the 2021 PDF will also have the worksheets and informational pages included in the 2021 PDF.

Thank you. Do you think I could easily omit some pages or do they all have important information? I need to submit my taxes to a government agency.

If you want your entire return, include pages with "Attachment Sequence No.".

 

In many cases, only 1040 Pg 1-2 needs to be supplied. Ask.
