How to print form 8949 to mail with Form 8453?

I am filing taxes for my deceased mother, I have done her taxes for her for years and always downloaded her tax forms into my desktop TT Deluxe. However, because she passed in early December I no longer have access to her online accounts, the financial institutions cut you off from accessing the accounts therefore I can not download the 1099's into Turbo Tax like I always did in the past. Her brokerage account has over 400 sales entries, I entered them into 3 grouped categories instead of putting in each individual sale. Even if I manually entered each sale I think I still have to mail in the 1099B because she had $4 in wash sales and there were 6 transactions in Box E, coded as non-covered. I can see form 8949, but it is not included in the print out to send to the IRS nor does it show when I saved "all forms and worksheets". Form 8453 says to include 8949 when I mail the 1099B to the IRS. How do I print form 8949?

When you select to print your tax return the Form 8949 will be included. You can save to a .pdf and print only the 8949 or you can simply attach a copy of the 1099-B to Form 8453. See the links below for saving and printing the tax return for your mother.

Thank you for a quick response! I overlooked it because I was expecting the form to look like it does when I am in the TT program. I had saved the Return as a pdf, but I was scanning the top left corners of every page looking for "Form 8949 Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets" all in bold letter across the top of the form, instead "Form 8949" is not bold, it's printed in tiny letters and on the far right in tiny letters it says "Attachment Sequence No. 12A", only 12A is bold. It does not mention "Other Dispositions of Capital Assets". Thank you for helping me open my eyes:) I wrote this comment to help others in the same situation, it's easy to overlook that its actually there.
