The Form 8949 instructions state, "If you choose to report these transactions directly on Schedule D, you don't need to include them on Form 8949 and don't need to attach a statement."
The Schedule D instructions state, "If you choose to report these transactions on line 1a and 8a, don't report them on form 8949. You don't need to attach a statement...........and, if you e-file your return, you don't need to file Form 8453."
Perhaps I didn't properly ask my original question. I will recheck that, and my input.
