Double-check your income entries and make sure they are accurate. Next, preview you 1040 and verify that your Modified Adjusted Income is below the phase-out

To preview your 1040 use the menu on the left of TurboTax Online.  

  1. Select Tax Tools 
  2. On the drop-down select Tools 
  3. On the pop-up menu 
  4. Select View Tax Summary 
  5. On the left sidebar, select Preview my 1040
