New for 2018, pages 1 and 2 of the Form 1040 are half-page forms and both print on the same side of the page. So "page 2" starts about halfway down the page.

Question

Why is my 2018 tax return 1 page instead of multiple like the previous years. I need the return to apply for a loan.

Agreed ... when you are in the Print Center you can choose to print Just the return which is all the bank needs OR the return with all the worksheets for your records ... every tax year AFTER you have filed (but before the close of the online program in late October) you should go back in and save the PDF both ways and then also save the .taxfile just in case you need to ever amend the return.
