You can use the length property like this:

if ($('#form1').length > 0){
   // form exists
}
else {
   // form does NOT exist
}

look after a form + id

if($("form#form1").length > 0) { alert('a form with and id "idname" was found!'); }

or:

var form = $("#form1");
if(form.length > 0 && form[0].tagName === "FORM")  { alert('a form with and id "idnam" was found!'); }

if you want to really check if #form1 is a form.
