Question

How do I fill out/where do I find the 1040 on turbotax? I tried navigating to it from the search results but it just takes me back to the tax home page

Click on Tools.
Under Other helpful links, click on View Tax Summary.
Down the left side of the screen, click on State Tax Summary to see the actual tax return that you prepared.
Down the left side of the screen, click on Preview My 1040 to see the actual tax return that you prepared.

I'm not seeing a way to review form MO-1040. I've looked in the tools tab and did not see a link to preview it even though I've received an email stating that it was ready to review

With TurboTax online @pj4ck20, you can see a state tax summary but you cannot see Form MO-1040 until you pay for TurboTax. Once your return is paid, you can use Print Center to view all your forms.

To see your Missouri state summary:

Click on Tax Tools in the left column
Select Tools
Click View tax summery in the center box
Click on MO tax summary in the left column
When you are done, hit Back in the left column

This depends on which product you have. I use TurboTax Deluxe which I purchased.

So for me, I start the TT application and it says start a new return right on the first screen.

Each time you do something to your return, be sure to do a SAVE. Deluxe offers this option to save each time you close out your session in a normal way.

Start the tax return. Save the return with a sensible name. Continue using the return or stop Turbo Tax activity. Observe which disk the tax return is on...backup this file/library/disk somewhere.

When you continue using Turbo Tax it will help you to select your saved file and allow you to key in new/changed data.

When you're working in the tax return and wish to finish by filing, you can print it and/or file electronically or both.

Keep a copy of your tax file, maybe on paper also. This copy will be used in next year's startup for 2022 tax season.

Which product? Mine is Turbo Tax Deluxe, and it is on my hard disk.

When I start TT Deluxe in Windows 10 there is an option on the top of the screen for Forms. Click that for a list of tax forms. Click the one you need on that list.

For 2020....How to Access prior year online returns
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/prior-year-return/help/how-do-i-access-my-prior-year-return/00/27010

If you can't get the side menus to open up to access the prior year..... You need to start entering some basic Personal Info in 2021 for the side menu to open up. Just continue a little ways into 2021.

If you used the Desktop CD/Download program then the only copy is on your computer and not saved or stored online. So you need to make and keep your own backups.

Or request a transcript from the IRS
