1. Go to the Input Return tab and select General.
2. Select Electronic Filing, then e-file Signature Main Form.

7. Locate the PDF file on your computer and open it.
8. Scroll to the Colorado Information section and select the box labeled Send PDF attachment with Colorado return.
9. Select the appropriate Form and line number on state return the attachment relates to.

After following these steps, Form DR 1778 and the Suggestion won't generate with the return. The PDF will be sent to the Colorado DOR when you e-file the state return. No signature or action by your client is needed, so no paragraph is added to your client letter.
