My Federal 1040A is still watermarked with DO NOT FILE FORM NOT FINAL, but I have gotten my refund.

I know this question has been asked multiple times, but I have not yet found an answer that solves my problem. My Federal 1040A is still watermarked with DO NOT FILE FORM NOT FINAL, but it has been accepted and is pending in my bank. I have already received my state refund, and the watermark is only on the federal 1040. Will this be removed? What could it possibly still be waiting for? I have downloaded the form from the front page as well as the "download my return" button.

If you use Print Center to print, it will give you an option to print a clean version with no watermarks. Steps to do this can be found below. 

**If your return is still active and you are inside the return, you can click on Tax Tools on the left, and then Print Center.

**If your return thinks you have already printed and filed, these are directions to Print Center.

• Log into the account you filed the return in
• Click Tax Home to the left
• Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and click Show
• Select Add a State to get back in return. (not adding one, just a way to get inside return)
• In the left hand-menu, select Tax Tools.
• Select Print Center.
• Then choose Print, save or preview this year’s return.
• Now check the 2017 federal returns (or 2017 state returns) box and choose which forms to print out or all worksheets.
• Select View or print forms, then go ahead and print.

NOTE: If you correct something after a reject or amend the return, it works better to print from Print Center.

Thank you. The "add a state" thing to get back into the return was the missing piece to my puzzle. This does not seem user friendly or obvious at all! Hopefully that can be addressed...but thank you very much!!

You are welcome! I will pass that along.
