Will the signed 8453FE form in attachment be visible in my tax return?

Turbotax asks me to print form 8453FE, sign it, then upload the signed copy to my tax return for e-file. I did so and uploaded the electronic copy of the signed 8453FE form.

It says "to view what will be sent with the return, select Attachment in the upper right of your the screen." The problem is I don't see "Attachment" option in the interface.

In my return pdf file, I see a blank 8453FE form, not the signed copy. Should the attachment (or my signed copy) also be visible in my return file?

I can't verify or check to see if my signed copy if properly attached and TurboTax will send it to IRS when e-filing.

Does someone know if this is normal? Is my signed copy properly attached?

Your signed copy is definitely attached if you followed the instructions.

You will NOT see the signed copy in the list of forms nor in the PDF. The signed copy will be wherever you saved it on your computer before you uploaded it.

I see. As long as the signed copy is attached, that's all it matters.

Thanks for your time.

I have the seen the same problem (very annoying):

Since this is the last year I need to use TT Business, I don't care if this is fixed or not😊

Yeah, wrong information. However, you can view the attachment by clicking Attachments under Tools on the menu bar (it's on the upper left).

I agree this attachment information is incorrect - I thank you for explaining the proper way to view the attachment. I was afraid to efile without being able to see that my attached form was properly attached. Let's all hope TurboTax fixes this error sometime soon - certainly before we have to do this again next year.
