    You can make the election by attaching a statement either to your income tax return if filed without an extension or to a request for an extension of time to file your return.


    See https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc429

    Thank you for the prompt respond, but my question was related to electronic filing, if I do that, should I just send the election to the IRS by mail or a copy of my tax return with the election attached?

    A copy of your tax return with the election (by the due date, obviously).
