Form 8949 - is still possible to e-fill instead sending by mail?

After e-filling Federal taxes, TurboTax informed me that still I must send by mail Form 8453 and Form 8949

 

"Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets (or a statement with the same information), if you elect not to report your transitions electronically on Form 8949"


Pity I wasn't informed about this before e-filling...
I've connected to the broker account, imported transactions to the desktop version of TurboTax.

Can I still try to e-fill Form 8949 (amendment?) in TurboTax, or sending by mail is the only or the best option?

 

BTW. Upps.. Sorry, wrong category...

 

Regards,

AL

If the tax return has been e-filed and accepted by the IRS, you should mail the IRS form 8453 with the attachment to the IRS.

 

If the tax return is not accepted, you have other options.
