You can also preview your Form 1040. There should be checkmarks in the Spouse is Blind box. See the image below.

Select Tax Tools from the menu
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

The TurboTax Preview

On the actual Form 1040, the box will be marked higher up on the page.
