Got into Forms Mode - how do I switch back to the online screens?
Nothing at horizontal top bar, right or left. Nothing at the bottom.
Using TT Premier.

    you may have your screen resolution too high so you are not seeing the top of the window.

    with the return opened

    at the top, there should be a white bar that says TurboTax Premium 2025

    below that is a black bar that says file - edit- view -

    click on "view" and a popup should open that allows you to switch to step-by-step (or do "ctrl 1)

     

     

    by the way with desktop you are not online with TurboTax. everything you see and all the calculations, forms etc are provided by the program on your computer.

    You should see a blue ribbon at the top of the screen.  Click on the icon that says Step-by-Step to switch back to step-by-step.  If you don't see the ribbon maximize your screen.  Otherwise, close TurboTax and reopen.
