I am talking about TurboTax website, not TurboTax software.

 

Is it possible to get PDF preview of tax return? Even if it comes with watermark. If yes, how to get PDF return form? I am hesitated to move on (below screenshot: I have filled out all data).

 

I don't plan to file with TurboTax, just want to fill out the data and see how it is calculate.

You can download a pdf file after you have paid for the software. If you do not plan to file with TurboTax, this will probably not be economical for you, but here is how per:  Can I print a copy of my return in TurboTax Online before I file it?:

 

  1. "Open or continue your return
  2. Enter your return by selecting Continue or Start on Tax Home.
  3. Select Tax Tools from the menu, then Print Center (on mobile devices, tap in the upper left corner to expand the menu).
  4. Select Print, save, or preview this year's return, and follow any additional instructions.
    Once your PDF opens in Adobe Acrobat Reader, select the printer icon.
  5. Make any adjustments in the Print window and then select Print."

As I said, I am talking about website version, not software. It seems Print Center is for previous years' tax return only, I did not find a way to print year 2024 tax return.
