Deductions & credits

I am in the same boat and want to understand the procedure to e-file Form 3115. Can someone please tell me this is the right way to do it? 

  1.  Use Turbotax to efile Fed tax return, which includes Form 3115 but not the required attachment
  2.  Send Form 3115 and the required attachment via fax [phone number removed].  The cover letter of the fax should have the following information. Do not include the other forms such as Form 1040 and other forms that are efiled in step 1
    • Subject: Form 3115
    • Sender's name, title, phone number, address
    • Taxpayer's name
    • Date
    • Number of pages faxed (including cover sheet)
  3. Keep the fax log as the receipt from IRS for Form 3115
  4. Do not need to mail Form 3115 and attachment to IRS separately. 

Appreciate any suggestions!
