Attaching Form 2553 to TurboTax Business

[Ujk20]

For the tax year 2024, I filled out the form 2553 for E-filing. The TurboTax interview asks to save the form as pdf and attach.  I thought I had to print it out, sign it and then upload to the software as non-pdf, but instead, it tried to have me upload the same unsigned form that I saved as pdf. Is this correct?

the 2553 can't be e-filed. You need to read the instructions especially if this is a late election.  A PDF can not be attached to a Turbotax-prepared return. The return needs to be mailed.
