I followed TurboTax instructions to go to Tax Tools and then to Tools, but there is no link to Preview my 1040. How do I get to this form?

    From the left sidebar

    1. Select Tax tools
    2. Hint: You may have to minimize the Federal and State selections
    3. Click Tools
    4. A Menu will pop up
    5. Select View tax summary
    6. On the upper left sidebar 
      1. click Preview my 1040

    Some Key numbers to compare:

    • 11 Adjusted Gross Income
    • 12 Deductions
    • 15 Taxable income
    • 16 Tax
    • 19 Child Tax Credit
    • 26 Earned Income Tax Credit
    • 28 Additional Child Tax Credit
    • 33 Total Payments
    • 34 Overpayment
    • 35a Refund
    • 37 Amount you owe

    I did receive an answer to my question which worked.

    However, Intuit needs to update their instructions online for how to view the 1040 form.

    Here is what I was trying to use, but the instructions omitted to "View Tax Summary" before being able "Preview 1040" on the left.

    Here is what is currently online:
