Some IRS Forms & Schedules Do Not Print with the Tax Return

Updated: 11/05/2009

TurboTax only prints the forms and schedules that need to be filed with your income tax return.

Some forms and worksheets are created for record keeping or calculation purposes only. If you notice that certain forms or schedules are missing after printing your return for filing, this is most likely why.

Here are a few forms and schedules that typically do not print as part of your return:

  • Schedule A. If your Schedule A deductions are less than the standard deduction, Schedule A will not print.
  • Schedule B. If your interest or dividend income is less than $1,500, Schedule B will not print.
  • Schedules C/E/F or Form 4562. If you have not placed new assets in service during the tax year, these do not print. For example, suppose that last year you placed new assets in service and Form 4562 was filed with your return. If no new assets were placed in service this year, Form 4562 won't print.
  • Schedule K-1 Worksheets. These worksheets are used to record information from any K-1 schedules you receive and will not be printed.
  • Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses. In certain situations, Form 2106 does not need to be filed with your return. In these cases, entries on Form 2106 are automatically calculated and placed on the appropriate forms.
  • Smart Worksheets and Supporting Details. Most of these are used for backup purposes and recording information, and are not needed – nor wanted – by the IRS.

Can I still print missing forms and worksheets?

Of course you can. Feel free to keep them for record-keeping purposes or for year-to-year comparisons; just be aware that filing unnecessary forms or schedules may delay the processing of your tax return.
