I can't find 1040 form to fill in on my TurboTax 2024 software

I am working on my 2024 tax online, but I can not find the 1040 form to fill in. I need help.

When you use TurboTax you do not fill in Form 1040 yourself. You go through the questions in TurboTax and enter your information. TurboTax will fill out Form 1040 for you.

 In your question you said "my TurboTax 2024 software", which implies desktop version, but also mentioned that you are "working online", and  the product tag under your question indicates "Online TurboTax" (web browser version.)  So I'll assume you are using Online TurboTax.

In any case, if you are using Online TurboTax, you can preview your preliminary Form 1040 during return preparation, but you can't make direct entries on it.   Here's how to view it:

• While logged into your online return, go to the left menu column and click on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
• In the Tools window choose VIEW TAX SUMMARY.
• When at the Tax Summary screen, go to the left column menu and choose PREVIEW MY 1040.

I think you're using Online TurboTax, but if you are using desktop TurboTax software installed on your computer and want to see the Form 1040, you can go into Forms Mode and in the left column list of forms you can select to view the Form 1040 that's being prepared.  But as @ rjs said above, you don't make direct entries on it; you use the interview questions, and TurboTax will fill it out.

The Online version doesn’t have the forms mode like the Desktop program.   Did you use the Desktop program installed on your computer before?   Although you can enter directly into the forms in the Desktop program you should always use the Turbo Tax interview steps to enter your income and deductions.   You enter from your W2 and any 1099 forms you get.  If you enter directly on the forms you might not be able to efile and will void the guarantee.

If you are using online TurboTax:

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:
