You can view your entire return or just your 1040 form before you e-file:

Sign in to your TurboTax account
Open or continue your return
Select Tax Tools from the menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner)
With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
- Preview your entire return: Select Print Center and then Print, save or preview this year's return (you may be asked to register or pay first)
- View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu

If you want to print out your return before you file, you would have to pay for your TurboTax fees first.
