RE: Form 7217 by Mail:
I looked at IRS to see if there was a requirement for a cover letter for mailing form 7217, if rest of 2024 return is e-filed.
I found an IRS form 8453, which has a checklist of forms to be physically mailed, with this headline:
FILE THIS FORM ONLY IF YOU ARE ATTACHING ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING
FORMS OR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
This is followed by a list of forms, but Form 7217 is not listed?
Will the IRS accept form 7217 by mail, and should I make my own cover letter to provide essential data,
such as my name, address, and tax number, or will this not be accepted by the IRS, and I will have to proceed
to paper file the entire return?
