When is schedule d not required

I have capital gain income of 290 but there was no schedule D printed.  The not required box has been checked.  I am applying for a loan and the processor is asking for schedule D.  Will turbotax print one and how?

When is schedule d not required

If your only capital gains income is cap gains distribution from a mutual fund, reported on a 1099-DIV, then Schedule D is not required and it is not prepared. The cap gain is reported directly on Form 1040 and the "Sch D not required" box is checked. Your lender should know that.

When is schedule d not required

If Schedule D is not required, indicated by the box on Form 1040 line 13 being marked, TurboTax will not prepare or print Schedule D as part of your tax return.  However, any form can be opened and printed with the CD/download version of TurboTax, whether or not it is part of your tax return.  As others have said, it's improper for the loan processor to be asking for a form that is not part of your correctly prepared tax return.

Mortgage processors are so ignorant of the tax laws ... if this one continues to give you trouble talk to their supervisor to report their incompetence ...  

 If you only have capital gains from 1099-DIV forms you don't need the actual schedule D.

Here's the answer from Pub 17 at irs.gov:  

"Exceptions to filing Form 8949 and Schedule D (Form 1040).    There are certain situations where you may not have to file Form 8949 and/or Schedule D (Form 1040).

Exception 1.    You do not have to file Form 8949 or Schedule D (Form 1040) if you have no capital losses and your only capital gains are capital gain distributions from Form(s) 1099-DIV, box 2a (or substitute statements). (If any Form(s) 1099-DIV (or substitute statements) you receive have an amount in box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250 gain), box 2c (section 1202 gain), or box 2d (collectibles (28%) gain), you do not qualify for this exception.) If you qualify for this exception, report your capital gain distributions directly on line 13 of Form 1040 (and check the box on line 13). Also use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet in the Form 1040 instructions to figure your tax. You can report your capital gain distributions on line 10 of Form 1040A, instead of on Form 1040, if none of the Forms 1099-DIV (or substitute statements) you received have an amount in box 2b, 2c, or 2d, and you do not have to file Form 1040.

Exception 2.    You must file Schedule D (Form 1040), but generally do not have to file Form 8949, if Exception 1  does not apply and your only capital gains and losses are:
•Capital gain distributions;
•A capital loss carryover;
•A gain from Form 2439 or 6252 or Part I of Form 4797;
•A gain or loss from Form 4684, 6781, or 8824;
•A gain or loss from a partnership, S corporation, estate, or trust; or
•Gains and losses from transactions for which you received a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement) that shows the basis was reported to the IRS and for which you do not need to make any adjustments in column (g) of Form 8949 or enter any codes in column (f) of Form 8949."
