No, it's a separate election form that you can create to accompany your return. Remember that you are capitalizing the expenses rather than reporting them for your business. Be sure to read the link in the previous post.

There is a blank statement form available in TurboTax Desktop (and TurboTax Business) using Forms Mode. However, you will need to file by mail in order to include this user-generated form. The statement must be included each year you elect to capitalize carrying costs.

Click the Forms icon in the TurboTax header. In the left column, click Open Form, then type in "blank form." Click on the form to open it in the large window. You can now type in the statement you need to include with your return.
