You can’t enter into the forms like the Desktop program.   But to see them…..

 

Before filing,  You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return

Print the return before you file (you will have to pay first)

And If you used the Desktop program before you may notice several differences and not like the online version.  It has less features and no Forms Mode.  You can only do 1 return.  Federal and state are separate fees.

 

Your return is only saved online so be sure to save both the .tax2024 data file and the pdf file to your computer when you are done.  In case you need to amend in the future or if you need a copy to get a loan or something.  You might not be able to access your online return when you need a copy.

Ther is no Forms Mode in the Online software that allows you instant access.

 

BUT #1...if you go to the left-side menu under Tax Tools, there is a Print Center where you can download a PDF file to look at

BUT #2 ...you have to pay for your software before it will let you print/save a PDF.

Thanks...almost at the file it point now. It's do taxes then pay to file, to see the pdf then.. I really preferred the boxed versions.

 

Fingers crossed as usual that I put what I need where it needs to go & hoping for the best.
