Some IRS Forms & Schedules Do Not Print with the Return

Updated: 3/13/2008
Article ID: 51

When you print your return in preparation for filing, TurboTax only prints those forms that need to be filed with your income tax return.

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

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

  • Form 1040EZ or Form 1040A. TurboTax automatically selects the correct version of Form 1040 for your tax situation and prints that version.
  • Schedule A. If your Schedule A deductions are less than the standard deduction, Schedule A does not print.
  • Schedule B. If your interest income does not meet the $1,500 minimum, Schedule B does 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 in a previous tax 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 doesn't print.
  • Schedule K-1 Worksheets. These worksheets are used to record information from any K-1 schedules you receive and do not print.
  • Form 2106, Employee Business Expenses. In some 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 by the IRS.
