Can I see the actual IRS forms as I make entrees?

When does the program let me see the actual forms?

@smokebetts If you have NOT e-filed you can still make changes.   You might need to click Add a State---you do not really have to add a state return but that trick will allow you back in to make changes to the return before you e-file.

If you are using desktop software you can switch to Forms mode to see the forms while you are working on your return.   Online TurboTax does not have forms mode.   With online you can preview Form 1040 and Schedules 1,2 or 3 while you work, but not any of the other forms.

 

PREVIEW 1040

You can pay your TT fees before you file and print to review the forms before you file.

After printing, can I make corrections before filing?
