You can preview your return in the TurboTax Desktop software by following these steps:

  • With your return open in TurboTax, select Preview from the File menu at the top. (If you don't see "Preview," open your return, not just the program).

  • In the pop-up window, choose the set of forms you wish to see (all official forms, specific forms, etc.) and select Preview.

  • Scroll down to view all the forms if you chose to preview multiple forms.
