Why does TurboTax say I need a 1040?

What is the purpose of a 1040 form? Taxpayers use the federal 1040 form to calculate their taxable income and tax on that income. One of the first steps is to calculate Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) by first reporting your total income and then claiming any allowable adjustments, also known as above-the-line deductions.

How do I access my TurboTax forms?

With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:

  1. Preview your entire return: Select Print Center and then Print, Save, or Preview This Year’s Return (you may be asked to register or pay first).
  2. View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu.
