That's a smart move!There are a couple of things you can do. I recommend the second method below so you can view all of your forms, but as part of the process you will have to go ahead and pay the fees first. You can have a limited preview of the Form 1040 and schedules 1-3 for free at any time during preparation prior to paying and filing. For viewing/printing privileges to see all the forms, however, see the second option I offer you below. Here's how to do a limited preview for free without printing: Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.In the Tools window, choose View Tax Summary.When the Tax Summary opens, look in the left menu column and choose Preview My 1040.That will show you the Form 1040 and schedules 1-3.Or you can pay in advance to view/print the Form 1040 and all forms in your return plus any worksheets prior to filing. Here's how: Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose Tax Tools, then Print Center.Then choose "Print/save/preview this year's return."On the next screen choose to "Pay now".The next screen should be an Order Summary.

Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose TAX TOOLS, then choose TOOLS.
In the Tools window, choose View Tax Summary.
When the Tax Summary opens, look in the left menu column and choose Preview My 1040.
That will show you the Form 1040 and schedules 1-3.

Open your return, and in the left menu column, choose Tax Tools, then Print Center.
Then choose "Print/save/preview this year's return."
