Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.
As you go through the software program and enter your information in the right places by answering the questions on the screens, the forms you need will populate. Go slowly and carefully through ALL of the income screens in Federal>Wages & Income. You do not have to "find" the forms and schedules; the software will do that for you.
You have until October 16 to use online TurboTax and e-file; after that the online system will shut down and you will not be able to use it. You will need the CD/download on a full PC or Mac, and your return will have to be mailed.
Thank you! I’ve never done my taxes myself before so I had no idea that’s what the federal tax return was. Thank you for your quick reply.
