TurboTax for non-Windows/Mac

If TurboTax Online doesn't allow Forms mode, you can't tell people to use the CD/Download, when you don't offer the CD/Download for all operating systems.  I masters degrees in both Taxation and Information Technology, and can't be more disappointed with TurboTax.

Is there no way for me, a non-Windows/Mac user, to verify what TurboTax wants to file for me, BEFORE I agree to pay TurboTax?  The UI/questions are awful, and I want to see the forms, as TurboTax is filling them in.

Any of the CD/Download software versions are available for Mac, with the exception of TurboTax Business which is only made for Windows.   If you use TT Business on a Mac, you need a Windows emulator such as Parallels, so you would have Forms mode.

Did you somehow misunderstand and think the CD/download was not available for a Mac?  Do you want to switch  from online to the download?

No.  Did you somehow mis-read my statement that I was looking for NON-Windows and NON-Mac?  Anything BUT either of them.  Any of the hundreds of Linux-based OSs, ChromeOS, etc...

I would say "good to know" but it's not, since I don't want anything for Mac.

Yes---I did miss that you wanted "non-Mac" and/or  non-Windows.   So, sorry,  you do not have forms mode since your only option is online software.
