Why can't turbo tax e-file form 8453 and form 8949?

I had just one transaction for form 8949.

"I had just one transaction for form 8949."

You are asked to mail Form 8453 and Form 8949 because you told TurboTax "I'll enter a summary for each sales category" instead of "I'll enter one sale at a time."  The "concept" behind "I'll enter a summary for each sales category" is that you have so many trades that entering them one at a time would be too onerous. 

Delete that trade and that broker and start over.  Click on the right radio button this time.

Thanks TomYoung, for reading that question a little differently!

It's usually because you have too many stock transactions.
