Question is how to get forms mode

 

The online versions of TurboTax do not support Forms Mode.

 

If you are using a desktop version, click the Form icon in the upper right side of the screen.

Each year you continue to disable functions within the on-line version of TT. I'm inclined to just get the cd version...freezes the cost of tax preparation and I have control of how I can navigate with TT. This direction makes absolutely no sense!

TurboTax Online has never had a FORMS mode.  However, you can view your return by going to Tax Tools > Tools in the left-side menu, then View Tax Summary from the pop-up menu.

 

Then, back at the left-side menu, choose Preview My 1040.

online doesn't have forms mode. any DIRECT ENTRY in a form or schedule voids Turbotax accuracy guarantee, may result in incorrect calculations and should prevent e-filing. IN ONLINE STEP-BY-STEP ENTRIES GO INTO WORKSHEETS. THEN TURBOTAX CARRIES THE ANSWER OR AMOUNT TO CALCULATION WORKSHEETS, IF NEEDED, AND FROM THERE THE RESULTS TO THE ACTUAL TAX FORMS AND SCHEDULES.  

For forms mode in the desktop versions go to the view tab and select forms then type in what you're looking for. a direct entry in a form or schedule in the desktop versions does not void the accuracy guarantee or prevent e-filing. HOWEVER, SINCE THE TAX FORMS ARE NOW ACCESSIBLE YOU CAN OVERRIDE A CALCULATION BUT THAT ALSO VOIDS THE ACCURACY GUARANTEE AND SHOULD PREVENT E-FILING.
