I need a signed copy of my return to submit to financial aid for my college. I edited obviously, can I print off a signature page or something else "sign and dated"?

When a tax return is e-filed it is transmitted electronically to the IRS. There is no paper copy, so there is no ink signature. A digital code is transmitted electronically instead of a written signature. No signature appears on the image of the tax form.

The IRS has been doing it this way for 20 years, and most tax returns are now e-filed, so it's well past time for the college to update their requirements for a copy of the tax return to take account of how tax returns are actually filed today.

Rather than trying to reason with the college, probably the easiest way to satisfy them is to print a copy of your tax return, sign the printed copy, with the date that you actually filed it, and give them the signed copy. The space for the signature is at the bottom of page 2 of Form 1040.

When you e-file your tax return your "signature" is electronic-----you use your prior year AGI as your electronic signature.  There is no physical signature on the Form 1040.   If you need to provide a "signed" copy of your tx return, print it and use a pen to sign on the line that says "Sign here."
