TurboTax does not have images of your 1099's. Only the data that was entered will be shown in the worksheets that are part of the pdf with your tax return. When you import a 1099, you still need to check it against the hard copy to make sure it is accurate. And you should always save the copies of your 1099's for your own records even if you imported the data in to your tax return. You can request copies of your 1099's or perhaps just download them from the web site of the financial institution that issued them originally.
When using the ONLINE version you really need to save a PDF of the filed return for safe keeping. If you go back into the account after filing and make any changes then you also change the archived copy.

This is my mini version of a tutorial that should be in the downloaded program:
Forms Mode lets you view and make changes to your tax forms "behind the scenes."
If you're adventurous, you can even prepare your return in Forms Mode, but we don't recommend it. You may miss obscure credits and deductions you qualify for, and you may forget to report things that will come back and haunt you later.
Forms Mode is exclusively available in the TurboTax CD/Download software. It is not available in TurboTax Online.

It's always a good idea to make a backup copy of your tax data file, in case your original gets lost or corrupted. Here's how:
If you make changes to your original tax return file, repeat these steps to ensure your original and backup copies are in-synch.
AND save it as a PDF so you have access to a copy even if you don’t have the program still installed and operational :

I am trying to determine the source of the data on my tax return.
When I fill out a return I can either manually enter information, or allow financial institutions to upload the data. Now 2 years later, can I tell how the data was entered into my tax return? Did I really change a number from 1414.00 to 809.00, or was the number incorrectly entered from an electronic upload?
I think I would be looking for metadata about the entry source. Is such information available?
It is most likely that the broker put out a corrected statement which changed the amounts the IRS has as opposed to you making an entry after filing.
Did they send a CP2000 ? If so they should show 2 columns ... what you reported and what was reported by others. Seek assistance as mentioned before since IRS notices can be confusing. Start by looking at one piece and see if you can figure it out ... it will be the key to the rest of the items.
