Yes, IRS would need those forms in this situation. After you have filed, you can mail in the printed Form 8453 and 8949.
If you're e-filing, you only need to mail the IRS a copy of your 8949 (along with Form 8453) if you entered sales section totals for one or more sales categories (instead of each individual sale) and one of the following is true:
- The sales category for one or more summaries is something other than box A (short-term covered) or box D (long-term covered), or
- The box A or box D summary includes adjustments (typically listed in boxes 1f or 1g on your broker statement)
If you're required to mail in forms 8949 and 8453, do so within three days after the IRS has accepted your e-file. Here's the mailing address:
