How can i print/download my returns to review the forms before filing with IRS?

The online answer is that I haven't filed yet so I can't print. This doesn't make sense that I must file without seeing a printed pr PDF version of the forms. Thoughts?

You should always review your return before filing.  You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return.  To see all the forms you need to pay the fees with a credit card.

I think all is well after all. Stepping through the next links, I am now going to be able to save and print before filing. That wasn't clear to me.

Try printing from the Print Center
Log back in your TurboTax account and "add a state" to open the return back up (you are not really adding a state, just to open it back up), then
Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. 
Then click on Print Center. 
Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets
