Click on the View Menu item.
In the popup window
- make sure both Show Tabs and Show Toolbar items have checkmarks. If not, click to add checkmark.

You need to specify what edition of Quicken you're using. Starter, Deluxe, Premier, etc.

The name of the feature you are looking for is "Lifetime Planner".

If you are using Standard menus, you should see a line of tabs at the top of the screen. Home, Spending, Bills&Income, Planning, etc.

If you're using Classic menus, you may or may not have tabs; it's a user option. In this case, you will have a Planning menu. Lifetime Planner is in that menu.
