I used the "Save and finish later" button to store my return in a draft format. How can I complete and file this return?


If you used the “Save and finish later” option, your return status will display as “stored” in the filing period list on the account page. Select the “stored” link to access the draft return. Use the “change” button located at the top right side of the return to open the return for editing and filing. Once you have completed the return use the “next” button at the bottom right corner of the return. If your return is without error, you will be prompted to enter your password as your electronic signature before submitting the return. If you are not prompted to enter your password, review your return for any error messages displayed on the right side each line item.
