Form 8453 PLEASE HELP!

I hace a Form 8453 generated from my 1099-B. Do I have to send this in even though I e-filed. Do I still have to fille and send in by mail Form 8453 as well as Form 8949? I have sent in the total loss and the basis. Do I have to send in a form with all the details although there are only 4 listed?

 

PLEASE HELP

Based on the info I found on the IRS website, you DO need to mail Form 8453 and include (see the box on the form to check) Form 8949 if it was not included in your e-filed return.

 

See the attached webpage from the IRS.  The instructions include both Form 8453 and instructions on mailing your forms to the IRS.  You need to do this within 3 days of having your return accepted by the IRS, so don't delay.  You also may want to mail this via certified mail so that you have proof of receipt by the IRS.
