form 8453

If someone is mailing form(s) through form 8453, then is that referenced somewhere on the efiled return?  I need to use form 3115 and I want to use the online version of Premier.  I know the form is not supported but I'm wondering if I can fill it in manually/ separately from the program and file it with form 8453.

    You would ordinarily not need to file an 8453 with the return, but the requirements on when to file vary based on the specific request.

     

    See https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i3115#idm140516454118016

    thanks but maybe my question wasn't clear. I'll rephrase:

    1- if i file form 8423 does it need to be marked on efile somewhere?  

    2-if yes, then how can I do this in online premier?

     

    (I will fill in 8423 and the from it references myself)

    No, just mail the 8453 along with the form(s) checked on the 8453.
