Form 3903 Missing From Return When Printed, but shows in the files view

Hi,

My return includes a 3903 moving form and it shows up in the forms view on Turbotax (desktop version).  However, when I print the return, the form is not included.  How do I get the form to show up in the printed return?

Per the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond, moving expenses are not deductible on a federal return except for certain active duty members of the military.

There are several states that allow a deduction for moving expenses on the state return:  AZ, AR, CA, HI, IA, MA, MN, NJ, NY, PA and VA  You can enter your moving expenses in the federal software and the information will flow to your state return.

No, TurboTax won't print Form 3903 if you aren't entitled to deduct your moving expenses on your federal tax return.

 

For tax years beginning after 2017, you can no longer deduct moving expenses unless you are a member of the Armed Forces on active duty and, due to a military order, you move because of a permanent change of station.

 

If that does describe you and your move, then there may be a check box that was missed. 

 

As Xmasbaby points out, your moving expenses might be deductible on your state return. 

 

If you look at Form 3903, you will see the checkbox at the top.
