I need to change my return because you cant actually review your tax forms before "printing".  I do not want to file an amended return 1040x, just fix something after "printing".  I cannot seem to accomplish this in TurboTax...

You can preview forms before you file. To clarify, what changes are you trying to make?

 

Please see this Turbo Tax FAQ on how to preview your return. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-preview-my-turbotax-online-return-before-filing/00/26160

One can only preview the 1040 and not any other forms / schedules.

 

The 2 changes I'd like to make are

1) Foreign accounts, max value in 2021, and total value in 2021.  The max value of my foreign accounts inaccurately reports and overstates my total foreign value, its not just a summing up...  I'll most likely have to just fill these forms out manually from the IRS site so they are correct.

2) I've decided to make additional HSA contribution for 2021. This shouldn't require a 1040x, especially before I've sent in my taxes.

Once you log on to TurboTax, scroll all the way to the bottom where it has Your tax returns & documents for 2021. Click on the button that says Add a State. This will allow you back into your return to make changes without actually starting the amend process. 

 

Once you are in there, you don't have to actually add the state. You can go make the changes in the relevant sections.
