print with name and SS on each page for paper filing?

[aybiz]

I haven't done paper filing for over a decade but I need to do it this time.  Is there a way in Turbo Tax to print with name and SS number on each page?  Or do I need to hand write it? The pages can then be identified even if there were separated by accident when handled by IRS clerks.  Thanks!

Yes, use the TurboTax software to prepare your returns.   Then when you go through the filing steps, choose File by Mail.   TurboTax will print out all of your completed forms with mailing instructions.   All you have to do is sign them and drop them in the mail.     How do I print and mail my tax return in TurboTax?

My question was whether Turbo Tax can print my name and SS on each page? Now there are many pages with no name and are not traceable if they are separated.

Worksheets do not go with the tax return. Statements will go with the tax return.  TurboTax will have your name on every page that should be mailed to the IRS.

Thanks for the response.  Many pages required for mailing do not have my name printed on top, such as Form 1040 page 2, schedule D page 2, Form 8606 page 2...   TT community recommends single-sided printing for paper filing. So, many loose pages do not have name printed.  Did I miss a printing method in TurboTax that will print my name on every page required for mailing?

You did not miss anything.  Normally the return prints with that information on the first page of each form but no necessarily every page.  It is not necessary to have name printed on each page because the intent is to make sure that the form is clamped in some way to keep it together.  However, you can add your name and SSN to the top of those pages that do not have on every page.

Thanks. I'll hand write my name / SS on those pages then.  Simple enough.
