The Summary Form 4562 is not designed to be a consolidated Form 4562. The IRS doesn’t expect or want a consolidated Form 4562 to be filed, and mandates prints for Forms from each member entity instead.

Consolidation Options

There are several notes that you should take into account for consolidated 4562 pages:
A
Summary Form 4562
may still print. Forms 4562 will print in the top consolidation for sub consolidation and divisional consolidation entities even if the default print options are overridden.
The Topcon doesn’t print details and descriptions for Line 42 if these were entered in the lower members. You can attach the subsidiary 4562 if you want the descriptions to be included.
The former 4562 consolidated summary schedule that printed with the title of
Whitepaper
, which was different from the Summary Form 4562, has been discontinued for 2023 and onward.
