1099-B detailed vs Summary and Form 8453

[TodS]

I have seen the instructions for mailing the Form 8453 within three days of hearing that the e-filed return was accepted.  Assuming that information is sent in a timely manner, is there any expectation that a tax refund would be returned to me more quickly if I go the detailed route rather than the summary route?  Stated another way, will going the summary and Form 8453 route delay me getting my refund?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

As long as you file your return electronically, whether you use the summary method plus a timely submitted Form 8453 with the details or use the detailed method of reporting your sale transactions should not make a difference in the time to process your refund.
