2025 form 8453

Do I have to file 2025 form 8453 with California?

The most common reason for filing Federal Form 8453 is because of reporting summary transactions from a 1099-B brokerage statement.  The statement and this form get mailed to the IRS within 3 days of acceptance of your Federal return.

This form does not need to be mailed to California.  The California Franchise Tax Board does have a Form 8453-OL, but it does not get sent to them and you just need to keep it with your tax records.
