Is there a better tax filing program than TurboTax?

How can I see the return before paying for it?  I cannot see my return to proof it, and I know there are mistakes.  I file an FBAR every year, why does this system keep asking questions about it?

I don't know about TT online but in Windows and other versions of TT you would have two options, it may be similar in the online version?

On other versions, option 1 would be to switch from the step to step mode to the FORMS mode.

Option 2 would be on the FILING tab to print your returns, or save them as a PDF.  Then you would simply review the PDF.

I barely know what an FBAR is!  So no help there!

I hope this helps you some.

1) You can see the forms if you are in the desktop program. You must pay for the program before you can see any forms. How easy would it be to just copy the numbers onto a blank form and abandon the program?

2) The program asks questions every year because situations change

Pay the preparation fee and register -- then you can see your entire return.
Visit the Print Center to get the ball rolling.

That's the policy for TurboTax Online, otherwise, no one would pay.
