Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you should mail Form 8453 and simply include Form 8949, and Form 1099-B if you have one. If the IRS wants the statements you can mail them at a later date.

 

If you are e-filing your tax return, then mail your Form 8949, along with Form 8453 to the following address within three days after the IRS accepts your tax return: 

 

Internal Revenue Service

Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254 

Receipt and Control Branch 

Austin, TX 73344-0254

 

You can add additional notes to eliminate sending several pages of statements. The key will be purchase date of the of the IAU(s). 

If you need a blank Form 8453, you can download this pdf, enter your address information and check the box for Form 8949 (this form is really just a cover sheet).
