To print a copy of the tax return before you e-file:

  1. Sign in to your account and select Take me to my return if you're not already in your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools in the left menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner).
  3. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
  • Select Print Center and then Print, Save, or Preview This Year's Return to preview your entire return, including all forms and worksheets (you may be asked to register or pay first)
  • View only your 1040 form by selecting Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu.

I've followed your instructions as exactly as possible, but it's forcing me to "comb" through everything with the "completecheck" before I get to the option of printing. I don't have an hour to "comb" through everything. It says, "We'll run a thorough, in-depth review of your federal and state taxes, from beginning to end." That's exactly what I don't want to do. At least not yet. That's the whole point. I just want to print a draft of what I have so far.

On the black panel on the left, select: 

  1. Tax Tools 
  2. Print Center 

Be aware you will not be able to print until you pay for the Forms. 

 

See the attached for additional information.
