I'm trying to figure out how TT calculated line 44 of form 1040. I printed out my tax return but it doesnt have a Tax Smart Worksheet or any other breakdown for the tax.

Can you point me to where I can find the detailed tax calculation?

If you reported Qualified Dividends and/or Capital Gains on your tax return then the tax calculated on Line 44 would not use the IRS tax tables.  The tax would be calculated using the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains worksheet which is included in the PDF of your tax return when you download the PDF to include all forms and worksheets.

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

Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Click on Add a state

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
