Question

How do I get the "tax tools" menu?

I have TT Premier that I installed from a CD on my laptop.

I'm being told that there should be a left hand vertical menu with a "tax tools" option. I don't have that left hand menu.  

I have a horizontal menu along the top on the left which says File   Edit    View   Forms    Tools   Online    Help

Can anybody tell me what's going on?

    The black bar down the left side is only for the Online version.  You have the Desktop program.  What are you looking for?

    This is what I was told to do:

    1. Select "Tax Tools" in the left hand menu
    2. Select "Tools"
    3. Select "View Tax Summary"
    4. Select "Preview My 1040" in the left hand menu

    5. Select "NY Tax Summary"

     

    NY Tax Summary will be used to calculate my NY tax on my NJ wage person ( I was a pat-time resident of NY and NJ). So I can't do this on the desktop version?

    You can switch to Forms mode and see all the forms.  Click on Forms in the upper right (left for Mac).  You can do everything the Online version has and more.
