Customize the print collation for returns filed electronically
When electronically filing a return, you can customize the tax return print collation just as you can for traditional returns. Note that you are customizing the print collation of paper copies of the return; the entire return "prints" in the electronic version that you file.
note
The print conditions that appear in the list are either the defaults or those that you set. You can determine which items you want included in the paper copy of the electronic file but if you change the print conditions, you will also change the print conditions for the traditional returns.
