Don’t forget your state. And you will have to print and mail your returns. So be sure to attach copies of your W2s and any 1099s that have withholding on them. You have to mail federal and state in separate envelopes because they go to different places. Get a tracking number from the post office when you mail them for proof of filing.
And FYI -
Online is only good for 2019 now. If you tried to use the Online version for a prior year you should try to clear it out so it's not accidentally filed as a 2019 return or transfers into next year.
