The first time I downloaded the software, I mistakenly selected the one for use with Microsoft and all features did not work on my Chromebook. After going back I found the correct program for use with Chrome. The only problem I still have is creating my signature which I have described below under features to add.

There is no signature line. The signature line on the new Form 1040 is located directly below the Dependent section, almost in the middle of the form.
What qualifies as a 'signed' tax return? To qualify as a 'signed tax return' the document must either: Be signed by at least one of the tax filers. Or, include the tax preparer's stamped, typed, signed, or printed name and SSN, EIN (Employer Identification Number), or PAIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number).
When you file your individual tax return electronically, you must electronically sign the tax return with a personal identification number (PIN) using the Self-Select PIN or the Practitioner PIN method.
You can sign your tax return electronically by using a Self-Select PIN, which serves as your digital signature when using tax preparation software, or a Practitioner PIN when using an Electronic Return Originator (ERO). If you're filing a joint return, each spouse uses his or her own PIN.

If you need a “signed" copy of your printed tax return, you pick up a blue or black pen and sign it near the bottom by that rather large black arrow next to the words, “Sign Here."
If you submitted your return without signing it, all is not lost. In all likelihood, the IRS will simply send you a letter requesting your signature. And once they receive your signature, they'll go ahead and process your return. If you choose not to do this, then you will have to complete and sign IRS Form 8453.
Remember that the IRS will catch many errors itself For example, if the mistake you realize you've made has to do with math, it's no big deal: The IRS will catch and automatically fix simple addition or subtraction errors. And if you forgot to send in a document, the IRS will usually reach out in writing to request it.
If the IRS does discover the error, and you owe more tax than you paid, you will have to pay the tax you owe plus interest and the failure-to-pay penalty. The IRS generally has three years after the date the original return was filed to discover errors and omissions and assess additional tax, interest and penalties.
