If the Form 8453 didn't print, you can go to https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8453.pdf and print the form. Fill out, check the box next to "Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets (or a statement with the same information), if you elect not to report your transactions electronically on Form 8949" and then mail to IRS along with a copy of your Form 1099-B to the address in the instructions.

I'll manually fill out the form. Is it possible that the form not being printed was a bug? How do we submit bug reports?

I had same issue - the system printed Form 8453, but not 8949. Form 8949 was filled out in the return, but apparently not sent electronically, thus the need to manually send it in. Why??? Why would this not be part of the electronic filing??? Why would TurboTax not automatically print 8949 with 8453 if that is what is required??? I finally found Form 8949 and printed it - sent it in manually, but I have no idea if this is what is required. Sounds like a Turbo Tax flaw.

The 8949 was filed electronically, you send it in with the other paperwork so the IRS can coordinate it all. The form should have printed for you to mail. That is odd.

Still don't understand what needs to be done.

I understand that I need to send in the form 8453, but WHAT am I sending to the IRS if the Form 8949 box is ticked on that form? (The entire consolidated forms 1099 from my brokerage?)
