Question

How do I print my original tax return from last year? Everytime I try to, instead of reprinting the original couple page document, it creates a 100 page document.

I go to the document section, have tried every different reason for printing, it still creates a large file.

You should have saved it as a pdf; that way you can choose which pages to print.

 

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

 

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

Save the return to your computer as a PDF, then selectively choose which pages to print in your printer dialog box on your computer.  Tax return forms have a form number and an OMB control number at the top.  Other pages will be IRS worksheets or Turbotax worksheets that are not part of your official tax return (but which sometimes contain information you will need later.)
