Deductions & credits

If the question is: "what can I get away with?" then I can't say. But the instructions for this new Schedule B says that you have to file it if you had prior-year carryovers or will generate a carryover this year.

 

Also, if TurboTax knows that you have a prior-year carryover, it might not give you the option of e-filing while omitting Schedule B.
