How do I print a copy of the information I entered that supports the decision to file standard deduction ?

How do I print a list of my charitable contributions and medical deductions?

You are posting from the FREE version which doesn't support itemizing deductions ... to do so would have required upgrading to at least the Deluxe version.  

 

After a return has been efiled and  accepted, it can sometimes take a return PDF a while to update and become available at the Tax Home.   If you can't use the Download/print button at the Tax Home or the "Download/print the PDF" link in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents", or if you're getting incomplete documents when you use one of those methods, here's an alternate way to print by opening the filed return back up to print at the Print Center.

 

NOTE:  When you open your return back up, do not make any changes in it if it's already been filed.  If you later have to amend the return, it has to start off exactly as it was when it was originally filed.

                  

  • Log in and at the Tax Home or in the section "Your Tax Returns & Documents" for 2019, look for a link "Add a State."
  • Click on "Add a State."  (you don't really add one.  That's just to open your return back up.)
  • After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then PRINT CENTER.
  • Then choose "Print, save, view this year's return."
  • The next screen should offer some options:  "Just my tax returns", or "include government worksheets (optional)", or "include government and TurboTax worksheets (optional.)"
  • See if one of those PDFs has what you need.  The latter has the most pages.

                          
NOTE:  Remember all PDF tax documents and tax data files are very sensitive files, since they contain your personal ID info, financial data, and possibly bank account numbers, etc.  Be sure to store them safely and securely to guard against computer theft, hacking, etc.

In TurboTax Online there is no way to print forms that are not used in your tax return. With the CD/Download TurboTax software you could go to forms mode to view or print Schedule A and the worksheets for charitable contributions and medical expenses, even though they are not used in your tax return. Forms mode is one of the major advantages of the CD/Download TurboTax software over TurboTax Online. But the CD/Download TurboTax software is not free.
