I printed out my Tax forms to File through Mail and the sheets says "FORM NOT FINAL. DO NOT FILE." Why does it say that?

[kimberlyann95]

I completed everything on turbo tax it wanted me to. When I went to print the forms out to mail to IRS... it is saying Form not Final. HELP

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).

In some cases, clicking the Download all forms and worksheets link (instead of Download/print return) in your 2016 Tax Timeline will give you clean printouts without the watermark.
