2023 turbotax 8812 line 13 enters a number from credit limit worksheet A - how can I see this worksheet?

Schedule 8812 is child tax credit. Even if I look at my return showing all calculation worksheets it does not generate or show me this form - I can find the instructions online and do it myself and get the same number but shouldn't turbotax have show me how it got to that number on a worksheet?.

The Credit Limit Worksheet A for the Schedule 8812 is a TurboTax internal calculation using the worksheet in the IRS Schedule 8812 instructions on page 4 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040s8.pdf#page=4

thanks - but why? Why can't the user see ALL the IRS worksheets? What or who decided to hide worksheets?

That is a decision made by the TurboTax programmers, which we have no access to on this forum.
