How can I get my Form 1040?

Your Form 1040 is the federal income tax return.

 

To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the User ID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and on the section Your tax returns & documents.  Click on the Year and Click on Download/print return (PDF)

Or -

When you sign onto your online account and land on the Tax Home web page, scroll down and click on Add a state. 

This will take you back to the 2024 online tax return.

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets

 

If you used the desktop CD/Download editions installed on your computer, the only copy of your tax data file and any PDF's will be on the computer where the return was created.  TurboTax does not store online any returns completed using the desktop editions.

Yes, but have you paid all of your TurboTax fees (if there are any) ?

 

  1. Log into TurboTax
  2. Select Tax Tools You may have to minimize the Federal and State menus.
  3. choose Print Center (on mobile devices, tap in the upper left corner to expand the menu).
  4. Select Print, save, or preview this year's return

Can I print a copy of my return in TurboTax Online before I file it?

Go to this IRS website for free transcripts of a federal tax return - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

 

For a fee of $30 you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

It depends. If you want to view your Form 1040 you can use the information below to look at it.

 

From the left rail menu in TurboTax Online, select Tax Tools (You may have to scroll down on the left rail menu.)

  1. Select Tax Tools
  2. On the drop-down select Tools
  3. On the pop-up menu titled “Tools Center”, select View Tax Summary 
  4. On the left sidebar, select Preview my 1040 

For TurboTax Desktop, change to 'Forms' and review the forms 

                       
You have access to all forms when you choose to print your return in TurboTax Online/Mobile.  However you are required to pay before printing, but do not have to file until you are ready.

If you are using TurboTax Desktop you can switch to Forms and review all forms and worksheets.
