Do I need to send form 8879?
Form 8879 is not used when you file your tax return yourself with TurboTax, and it is not used when you file by mail. Form 8879 is used only to authorize a paid tax preparer to e-file your tax return for you. You don't have to authorize yourself to file your own tax return.
Form 8879 is not included in TurboTax because it is never used when you file with TurboTax.
When Form 8879 is used, you do not send it to the IRS. The paid preparer retains the signed Form 8879.
