If you're using TurboTax Online, you can't. If you're using TurboTax Desktop, this can be done by going to Forms vew, but only certain fields are avaiable for input directly on the form. You will have to gr through the interview questions in order to properly fill your 1040 out.

A 1040 is the tax return form you prepare here to send to the IRS. If you start entering data in this software you are preparing a Form 1040. Please look at it so you will know what you are sending to the IRS:
