This sounds like a bug. Just to clarify, the message during the interview process is pasted below..... yet the filing instructions still ask to mail in a paper copy Form 8453 with the 1099-B, even though I uploaded it as instructed. Again, the federal return was accepted and despite the filing instructions asking me to mail Form 8453, TurboTax is not generating a pre-populated Form 8453 for me to print, as it has done in years past when I actually did have to mail in a paper copy. Thanks.
"Now we'll help you upload your 1099-B since the IRS requires a copy
The IRS requires a copy of your 1099-B because you need to provide documentation for some of the transactions on your sales summary.
If you have a PDF copy, upload it and we'll send it to the IRS for you.
If you don't have a PDF copy, you can skip upload and we'll help you mail a paper copy."
As instructed, I have uploaded a PDF copy, so TT should be sending this to the IRS electronically and should NOT be asking me to mail a paper copy.
