@adams3702    In the "Online" software, you have to get it from the left-side menu... Print Center.... BUIT...you have to make the selection to create a PDF with ALL the forms AND worksheets.   FFor "Desktop" users, you switch to Forms Mode. .....then find the "Tax History" in the left-side screen, down near the end of all the Federal forms. Click on that and it shows up in the main screen.

The work on this section of TurboTax is continuing and expected to be completed with an update coming after Thursday night.  The best time to check for a change will be Friday.   @Louisschioppo  @p8tran   

The TurboTax online editions can only be used for one tax return per account and User ID.  If you want to start another tax return using the online editions you will need to create a new account, a new User ID and a new email address. Go to this TurboTax website and click on Sign up to start a new account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/

Adding my name to the list of displeased people. It boggles the imagination that they are unable to update the online version with an error message that contains correct information.   Also note they were giving a discount for early filers but then don't have the formed needed to file. I am returning to TURBOTAX after filing via a different method the last few year. Very much questioning that decision now.
