Question

Schedule E, Box E

With adding the form 7203, I included my Stock basis info.

The Schedule E, box E still does not show an X that this is required.

 

How does that box get populated with the X? 

 

thanks!

    In TurboTax Desktop:

    1. Select the Forms icon in the upper right corner
    2. Select Schedule E, p2 under Forms in My Return in the left pane
    3. Scroll down to Part II, line 28 and check the box in column (e) next to the relevant entry
    4. At the bottom of the screen, select the Close Form button

    See the IRS’ 2021 Instructions for Schedule E (2021) for more information.

    If you’re using a different version of TurboTax, please specify the version.

    Thank you so much!

     

    I have a quick follow-up. 

    The new form 7203 which shows the Stock Basis amount.  That should not then populate  

    the Schedule E for the box E?

    Meaning - the 7203 has nothing to do with the Schedule E.

     

    Thanks!

    That is correct.  Form 7203 is a new form for 2021 and will report the basis in your stock to the IRS instead of you just tracking it outside of your tax return.
