I realize I am trying to use logic on this Form 8453 issue which, between IRS procedures and TT's application of the form, doesn't make much sense. First, it seems to me the very large majority (I would guess over 90%) of filers will be mailing a copy of Form 1099-B (that shows a transaction adjustment that is in question) to Austin that is identical to the 1099-B already filed by the reporting financial institution to the IRS/US Treasury. Any "adjustment" outside the 1099-B would not be "known" to IRS and would need to be filed with 8453. But, "lets put them ALL in a pile in Austin and sort them out if needed."
When I bring up Form 8453 in TT Premier it doesn't even populate the address fields. Why? I realize TT is trying to "phase out" us Desktop users, but something like populating address field can't be that hard.
BTW I was just reading the comments from TT online users. Am I ever glad I stayed with Desktop!
