The "E-file Only" watermark is controlled by development and there are no settings to turn this feature On/Off. If a form is marked as E-file Only it is because:

- We have received Approval from the appropriate State/Federal agency that the form meets the requirements for e-filing.
- The watermark also indicates the form has **NOT** received the necessary approvals to be printed and mailed.

> 📝 *Printing and mailing a form marked as E-file Only may be rejected by the State/Federal agency.*
