Copilot sometimes gives wrong information.
Form 8997 is not one of the forms that can be sent with Form 8453. The instructions for Form 8453 say the following.
"CAUTION
Don’t attach any form or document that isn’t shown on Form 8453 next to the checkboxes. If you are required to mail in any documentation not listed on Form 8453, you can’t file the tax return electronically."
Form 8997 is not listed on Form 8453. There is no checkbox for Form 8997 on Form 8453, so Form 8997 cannot be sent with Form 8453.
