Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends. The "8453" forms are used for signatures and often need you to scan and upload a signed document or attach paper forms, like brokerage statements. The software needs these attachments sent to the IRS in a certain format..

 

TurboTax usually waits until the IRS "Modernized e-File" (MeF) system has been running for a few weeks to make sure these attachments won’t cause any issues with your filing. Since the IRS started accepting efile returns on January 26, I would wait until February 9 to file your return.
