Is form 8453 included with the federal tax return when the return is e-filed?

form 8453 is not printing with the return.

No, when you e-file  your return, form 8453 is not included. If TurboTax didn't generate form 8453 for you, you can download it from the IRS. It must be mailed, along with the accompanying forms that are required, within three days of e-filing.

last year this printed.  Why not 2018 if the form is necessary?
