If I filed electronically this year do I still have to send a paper copy to the irs this year?

I filed electronically with turbo tax this year but I remembered something about it saying I still need to send a copy to the irs? Is this correct?

[Mark-N]

I've electronically submitted my returns for many years, and I have never had to submit any papers to the IRS. My electronic submission this year included the 1040, Schedule B, D, 8889, and 8995. If you've got some weird form beyond what I've submitted, I can't speak to all situations.

It depends, Generally no, but there may be situations when more documentation is needed by the IRS. If you need to submit anything it should tell you what to send on the cover sheet when you print the return for your records.

If your return included a Form 8453, you'll most likely need to send a specific form or document to the IRS, even though you've successfully e-filed your return. 

See the TurboTax Help article Do I need to mail anything after I've e-filed? for additional information.

But, unless TurboTax specifically told you to send any forms to the IRS when you e-filed your return, you should be done.

All you need to do is wait and see if the IRS accepts your e-filed return.  If it's rejected, please see the article How do I fix a rejected return? for guidance.

did you bother to read the Turbotax filing instructions? it would tell you if you had to mail anything. how about rereading them.

I didn't receive filing instructions with my return so had to look up instructions.  Guess not everyone is as lucky as you.
