We report on preliminary results from the calculations of the QCD equation of state for 2+1+1 flavors using HISQ action. The calculations are performed on lattices with temporal extents Nτ=6,8,10, and 12 and aspect ratio Nσ/Nτ=4. We find that there is a significant contribution to the pressure from charm quarks at temperatures T>300 MeV.
