Printing Your Return and Individual Forms – TaxAct Online

For the security of your personal information, a printed or digital copy of your TaxAct Online return is only available after you have signed into your account. You can then print or save a PDF of the return. TaxAct Support cannot mail, fax, or email a paper or electronic copy. For help with your username or password, visit the Sign In Help FAQ.

The print process generates a Portable Document Format (PDF) file that can be viewed, printed, or saved. As all supported browsers now have PDF readers, Adobe Acrobat Reader is not required to print a PDF copy.

TaxAct fees must be paid before the return and individual forms can be printed or saved as a PDF (see the Fee Message section).

  1. From within your TaxAct return, select Print Center from the left side menu.
    • On smaller devices, click the menu at the top left corner of your screen, then scroll down to make your selection.

  3. Enter the desired number of Federal or State copies.
    • To print select forms, schedules, or worksheets, click the Custom tab and make your selections.

Fee Message

Recommendation:

If you are mailing your return to the IRS you should print your return, schedules, and other attachments on standard 8×11 paper. Printing on another size and then cutting the paper may cause problems with processing your return.
