Request to mail in Form 8453 with Form 8949 info

I transferred all 1099-B information from my brokerage account electronically with all pertinent information to complete Forms 8949. From what I can see on my completed tax return from TurboTax all Forms 8949 are included, listing all individual transactions. I filed the completed tax return electronically, so I don't understand why the provided Form 8453 has the the box checked saying "...if you elect not to report your transactions electronically on Form 8949." I thought they were electronically filed.
