Form 172 printing before Form 1040

Federal Form 172 is printing out in front of the Form 1040. I can't imagine that is where it is supposed to print. Any idea why or how and where to move it.

Thanks for confirming you've looked through your print settings. I'm sorry that didn't solve it. It might not be systemically adjustable. I think you'd have to try calling support if someone else in the peer forum here can't figure it out.

According to Lacerte, based on their research, the Form 172 is supposed to print on top of the 1040.

You can adjust what prints and in what order in "Settings">"Options" ("Primary Options" if you have admin access and want to change it firm-wide)>"Items to Print"

Note the menu on the left FIRST. You have a different set of selections for each set of the return. So I imagine you want to change the "Client" copy based on your post.

Then you can check/uncheck sections & items AND move up/down sections & items.

So two big changes I make are 1) to move the "Federal Return" and "State Return" sections UP after "General" and before "Federal Worksheets", and 2) to make sure the CY Fed & State Reg & AMT Detail (not Summary) Depreciation schedules are in the Client Copy.

I have to reset these in each new year's software, but you get faster at it as you explore it more.

We do modify our items to print settings. However, it doesn't provide anyway to move the form 172 that is printing after the client letter and in front of the Form 1040SR. It started last year. I can't see anything in the items to print settings that specifically identifies the Form 172 so it can be moved to after the 1040.
