I have e-filed my return and for one of the items in form 8949, I have attached a pdf file under C) Short-term transactions not reported to you on Form 1099-B and F) Long-term transactions not reported to you on Form 1099-B. In my return pdf file its typed as "Transactions - see attached statement." The "- see attached statement" is what turbotax has added. But when I open my return pdf file, I dont see that attachment. Is that normal or the attachments should also be visible in the return file?

You cannot include an attachment in a tax return that you e-file with TurboTax. When you e-file and you have an attachment for Form 8949, you print the attachment and mail it to the IRS, attached to Form 8453, which serves as a cover sheet. TurboTax will fill out the Form 8453 for you and prompt you to print it.

Did TurboTax ask you to attach a PDF file with sell transaction details?

@rjs keeps saying this can't happen.

To answer your question, no, the attachment, if sent by TurboTax, would not appear in your PDF file.

@fanfare well, that file was transaction details and turbotax asked me to upload 1098-B which isn't existing since the transactions weren't reported. That said what I uploaded was the datils in form 8949. It seemed like turbotax didnt have any problem with it.

I just want to know if TurboTax has sent that file to IRS or if I need to print and send it again. Its about 250 pages, and unless TurboTax hasn't sent it I dont want to waist that much paper. look here for what I have followed to report those transactions https://www.form8949.com/tto-e-file-attach-work-around.html

Did you ever figured out if TurboTax Online did included the attachment? I did the same thing for 2022 and when I open the return it's not showing the extra attachment that I included.
