Form 7217 regarding K1 with line 19C entry

How do I add firm 7217 to my federal return for online submission

[PatriciaV]

Form 7217, Partner's Report of Property Distributed by a Partnership, is not supported by TurboTax.

You will need to complete the form manually, print, and mail to:

Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX 73344-0254 

Find the form and the instructions here: IRS About Form 7217.

Dear Patricia V:

Thanks for the answer.   Does this mean I can E-File the rest of my 2024 Federal return, and just mail

this form (7217) alone?
If that is correct, that would be a good outcome, as rest of my Federal form is rather large, plus

I can now E-File my State forms, if Federal E-File is allowed.

Best regards,

Philleann

Yes, you can e-file your Form 1040 return through TurboTax. Then print and mail Form 7217 using the address on the filing instructions that should be in the PDF of your return. Or check this IRS list of addresses by state.

PatriciaV,

Thank you for clarifying that Form 1040 can still be e-filed with TurboTax, and that Form 7217 can be filled out, printed and mailed through U.S. Postal mail. 

It appears TurboTax needs to include this instruction in the  software rather than instructing TurboTax users to opt to print and mail the 1040 tax return along with Form 7217 rather than e-filing.

Thanks,

Tom

RE: Form 7217 by Mail:

I looked at IRS to see if there was a requirement for a cover letter for mailing form 7217, if rest of 2024 return is e-filed.

I found an IRS form 8453, which has a checklist of forms to be physically mailed, with this headline:

FILE THIS FORM ONLY IF YOU ARE ATTACHING ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING

FORMS OR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

This is followed by a list of forms, but Form 7217 is not listed?

Will the IRS accept form 7217 by mail, and should I make my own cover letter to provide essential data,

such as my name, address, and tax number, or will this not be accepted by the IRS, and I will have to proceed

to paper file the entire return?
