No, you won't be filing Form 8453 with your documents because you won't be able to e-file your return. Form 8453 is only used in connection with e-filed returns. Because you are a MtM trader, you have to attach a statement to your return using the same format as line 10 of Form 4797, showing the details of each transaction. TurboTax does not support the creation or importation of the trader's statement. Thus, you will need to separately prepare your statement and attach it to your return. Your completed return will need to be paper mailed to the IRS.
Because you will need to paper mail your return, you can include Form 3115 with your return.
