TurboTax generated a condensed pdf of my tax return for me to print & mail. How do I get the whole pdf?

The pdf is supposed to be 8 pages long but I only have 5 pages and there is a barcode on the first page. Why isn't turbotax generating the whole pdf for me? Also, I only see the Federal tax return in the pdf. Where can I find the Ontario tax return?

@shreyas7 Yes it is ok to send the condensed version as the barcode gives the Canada Revenue Agency everything they need from your return.

You only get the condensed one if you clicked on Print to Mail. If you click on Print PDF then you should get the complete form.

Sorry, let me clarify my question:

I meant to ask whether it is ok to mail the condensed pdf?

I am able to get the whole pdf but that has a watermark on it stating "Do not send by mail".

Here are instructions on how to print your return without watermarks The option to print a tax return becomes visible only after you pay for that specific tax return. After you pay, the FILE menu lists the print options available to you. To print for the purpose of mailing to the CRA or save a copy for your own records for your current tax return, follow the directives provided below.

 

Two options for printing;

 

a) one is to print and mail to the CRA which will provide you with a PDF with no watermarks, or

 

b) you can skip the print & mail and click continue which will give you the option to print for your own records (with watermarks) before you Netfile.

 

After payment has been processed, in the side menu, select FILE, and then select Print & Mail your return to access the PDF without watermarks. On the next page that appears, select the link to open a PDF copy of your return, which will download to your computer automatically, open the PDF and click on Print, this will be the copy you would send to the CRA without the watermark on it. Hit Done – you will then be directed to download a copy with watermarks for your own records.
