How to get rid of Form 8453

Hello there, after I printed out my return, I noticed that there is a Form 8453 that I need to mail in?  For some reason, the box for the Form 8949 was checked.  Is this the result of capital gains from sales of stocks/mutual funds? Is there anything I was supposed to check on Sch. D to get rid of Form 8453?  I don't remember that I needed to file this Form 8453 in the past when I had capital gain?  Thanks!

If you entered the categories of security sales instead of each trade, you are required to mail the 8453 with your 1099-BV or other similar statement showing the individual sales.
