Turbotax prints out a big stack of pages. Exactly which ones must I mail to the IRS? Which ones should I just keep?

Choose "print to file by mail" and only the pages you are supposed to mail will print out with information including the addresses to use.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

No matter what I choose, it always wants to print out a bunch of "worksheets" and pages with no amounts on them. And it prints information about e-filing (drivers licenses etc.) that have nothing to do with mailing the forms.

See the filing instructions document that prints out with the paper copy of your return. You'll see the address in those instructions. For your federal return, you can also look it up at this IRS website.

You can locate the worksheets that were included in your tax return by accessing a complete copy of your tax return from the Print Center. The PDF file of your tax return, that is located on the tax home page will not include the worksheets. Please note: this may not work until your return has been accepted.

Please see the steps below to obtain a complete copy of your tax return which would include all worksheets, vouchers ect.:

Sign in to your account (if you haven't already done so), the same login you used to file your return.
Scroll down to My Tax Returns and Documents and click on show.
Next scroll down and click on Add a State (you are not really adding a state, this will allow you to get back into the program.)
In the left side panel click on Tax Tools then click on Print Center.
Next select Print, save or preview this year's return.
Then select the option to print your 2022 federal and state returns (shortest version). You can also select the option to Include government worksheets (optional) (medium-length version) and/or You can also select Include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional) (longest version). Then select View or print forms.
This will allow you to print your complete tax file.
Once you have finished printing, click on Tax Home in the left side bar to return to the home page and click on Sign Out in the lower left corner when you are ready to exit the program.
