Again - like the previous responses to the other person's question - the response is off target. The question is not asking where to go to complete and file taxes, and the question is not asking for an opinion on the need for tax preparation software.
The question is how to manually enter line item data from a printed tax return into TuboTax.

Using the TurboTax online editions there is no direct access to any forms, schedules or worksheets.
Using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions access to the forms, schedule or worksheets is by clicking on Forms.
All Form and Schedules line items are populated from worksheets for those line items. A line item can be Overridden but that will cancel the TurboTax Accuracy Guarantee and prevent e-filing of the tax return.
For example to populate Line 1 of the Form 1040 for wages and Line 25a for the federal taxes withheld on the W-2 would require you to complete the W-2 worksheet to enter the tax data from the W-2 received.
All the entries on Schedules 1, 2 and 3 require worksheets
Worksheets are required for a 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-R, SSA-1099, etc.
Even more complex if you are depreciating assets, entering investments gains or losses, self-employment income and expenses, rental or royalty property income and expenses, etc.
Owed a stimulus payment? You have to complete the Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet for the entry on Form 1040 Line 30.
