Yes, you can review your tax return in TurboTax Online before filing it. 

 

If you just want to preview the 1040, this is how to see it before paying:

 

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools from the left-side menu, then Tools.
  3. Select View Tax Summary in the pop up box.
  4. Select Preview my 1040 from the left-side menu.
  5. You will see the Form 1040 with Schedules 1, 2 and 3.
  6. When you are done, select Back from the left-side menu. 

 

If you want to see the complete return, with all forms and schedules, you can see it after you have paid for the return, but before you submit it for filing. This is how to do that:

 

  1. Open your return.
  2. Select Tax Tools from the left-side menu, then Print Center.
  3. Select Print, save or preview this year's return at the bottom of the screen. 
  4. Select Pay Now on the next screen and follow the prompts to pay and print or save a copy of the return. 

 

With either method, you can make any needed changes to your return as long as you haven't submitted it for e-file.
