The form 3115 can not be found in the return PDF  file.

I use TurboTax desktop version.

You most likely have to print and mail your return, including the Form 3115 you prepared in Forms Mode.

Further, you need to send a separate, signed copy to the IRS.

I filled in the Form 3115 at TurboTax anyway. But why it can not be found within the the return when e-file it? How to inforce to e-file return include or attached  this form?

You can't since the program does not officially support Form 3115 for e-filing.

You need to print and mail your return with Form 3115 and also send a separate, signed copy to the IRS.

Note that there is also no way to attach the 3115 to your return for e-filing.

Whether the return itself can be e-filed? Then just seperately print, sign, and mail the form 3115. 

I dont think taxpayers want to send their return by mail anyway. Nobody does.

There are other ways to pay; you don't have to send payment with your return.

Regardless, you still have to print and mail your return with the 3115 attached and then mail another (signed) copy of the 3115 to the IRS.
