Why isn't form 7203 included in my printed documents after I had to fill it in?

I was prompted to fill in form 7203, but when I print out my tax return, it is not included.  Why?

It may not be included because you are not required to file the form.  However, it may be beneficial for shareholders to complete and retain IRS Form 7203 even for years it is not required to be filed, as this will ensure their bases are consistently maintained year after year.

 

IRS Form 7203 Instructions page 1 states:

 

Who Must File 

 

IRS Form 7203 is filed by S corporation shareholders who: 

 

  • Are claiming a deduction for their share of an aggregate loss from an S corporation (including an aggregate loss not allowed last year because of basis limitations), 
  • Received a non-dividend distribution from an S corporation, 
  • Disposed of stock in an S corporation (whether or not gain is recognized), or 
  • Received a loan repayment from an S corporation. 

 

You will want to retain a copy of the form for your files.  Are you able to print out the form at Tax Tools / Print Center / Print, save or preview this year's return / Include government and TurboTax worksheets?

It popped up for me to complete.  We are showing a loss from my husbands S Corp. Doesn't that mean we have to file the form 7203?

I have the same problem as the OP and am using the same online version. I am required to file the form. I completed it when asked. Then when I went to print off everything for review before e-filing, 7203 was nowhere to be found. 

 

I just pressed the e-file button, hoping that it is attached to the e-file and that maybe the error is when creating the pdf for personal review.

 

Please let me know how I can find it for my own records within the TurboTax Online system. Also, how can we get confirmation that it was included in the e-file?

 

Thank you.
