    I am confused----the heading in your post says "Filing 2018 Taxes"  but you say you have a page that says

     

    Form M-8453Individual Income Tax Declaration for Electronic Filing 2019. "

     

    What tax year are you working on?

    If you are using the downloaded 2018 program  then in the FILE tab choose to mail in the return and the proper forms and filing instructions will be presented.    That form is only used when efiling which you can no longer do.

    If you are using the current ONLINE program to file a 2018 return then STOP !!!   The online program is ONLY for the 2019 returns right now so do NOT mail in anything from this program ... look at the forms ... do they say 2019 on them ???
