Intuit is lying.
The updated 2024 Form 8283 instructions have an extremely clear allowance for e-Filing this form when a signature is required:
"If you are electronically filing your tax return, you must include the Form 8283 data in the electronic submission. Enter all information requested by a line of the Form 8283 on the electronic Form 8283, except for the required signatures.
You must attach the completed Form 8283 with all the required signatures to your tax return, either as a PDF attachment when electronically filed, or mailed to the IRS with Form 8453."
The 8453 route is exactly what I used the last time I needed to send in a signed version of this form. And even assuming Intuit can't be bothered to implement the functionality to attach a PDF, the allowance for mailing just the signed form and e-Filing the rest has not changed.
It's too much of a pain to go elsewhere for this year, but if Intuit is going to be this poor, I'll go elsewhere for next year.
