In the interest of time, here's some additional info:
Here's how to do a limited preview for free:
- Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
- In the Tools window, choose View Tax Summary.
- When the Tax Summary opens, look in the left menu column and choose Preview My 1040.
- That will show you the Form 1040 Worksheet and schedules 1-3.
Or you can pay in advance to view/print the Form 1040 and the forms and worksheets prior to filing. Here's how:
- Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose Tax Tools, then Print Center.
- Then choose "Print/save/preview this year's return."
- On the next screen choose to "Pay now".
- The next screen should be an Order Summary. Review that, and if all is OK, click Continue.
- It should then prompt you for payment by credit or debit card. The screen only says "credit card", but it will take a debit card.
NOTE: If it should offer you the option to "pay later" out of the Federal refund, that can't be used for this purpose. You will need to pay now by credit/debit card in order to download/print prior to filing.
