We are unable to view most attachments.

However, if you are able to successfully e-file your tax return(s) and you entered summarized information for Form 1099-B and they are Accepted, you may complete, print and mail Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return and a copy of Form 1099-B. If you entered a summary in lieu of individual transactions, TurboTax should have already e-filed both Schedule D and Form 8949 with summarized information. You may verify what was e-filed by reviewing your tax return(s): How do I get a copy of a return I filed in TurboTax Online? Even if the total net amount is negligible, the detailed transactions may not be. Please review the following for more information:
