Which part of the 125 page download do I mail as my Federal return?

Hi momanitac57,

You only mail the Form 1040 and the other IRS Forms and Schedules which have an Attachment Sequence number in the upper right corner of the form or schedule and have tax data entered.  All other worksheets in the PDF are for your use only and are not sent to the IRS.

You need to print, sign, and date the Form 1040 to include all Form W-2's and Form 1099's that have federal income taxes withheld.

Using a PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader, you can pick and choose which pages of the PDF to print.

Thank you.  How many pages is this?

[LaurenW]

In one of my test PDFs, it's everything above the:
"State and Local Tax Refund worksheet"

..but not the Filing Instructions sheet

(...if you don't see that it might be above the "Tax History Report"

[LaurenW]

Hopefully that helps...every return will be different numbers of pages unfortunately so I can't give you an exact number.

Alot of them say, Keep for your records. Do these go too?

[LaurenW]

You can keep those.
