@IntuitGabi  I have done additional research on e-filing Form 8864.  Please select Form 8453 in the  ProSeries 2022 software list of forms.  You will see on the bottom half of Form 8453 there are eleven check-the-box choices.  The tenth box down from the top is:  [  ] Form 8864 - attach the appropriate certificates and, if applicable, the appropriate reseller statements for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel claims.

What is the procedure to activate Form 8453?  I can find no other way to activate it other than to override and check-the-box for Form 8864.  Overriding and checking the checkbox activates Form 8453 and populates all of the fields for name, address, and SS# at the top of Form 8453.

Per the IRS instructions, I will need to mail Form 8453 to the IRS within 3 business days after receiving acknowledgement from my intermediate electronic filing service transmitter, which is Intuit, that the IRS has accepted the electronically filed return.  If I do not receive an acknowledgement from my intermediate service transmitter, which is Intuit, I am instructed by the IRS instructions to contact said service transmitter, which is Intuit.

So, in order to comply with the IRS instructions for Form 8453 and mail form Form 8864, with Form 8453, to the IRS at Austin, TX, I first need Intuit to transmit the Form 8864 return to the IRS and I need to receive an acknowledgement back from my transmitter, Intuit, that the IRS has accepted the electronically filed return.

Please explain to me how this will work.  I do not want to e-file a Form 8864 return that Intuit is just going to automatically reject before even transmitting it on to the IRS.  

This post requires an advisory back from you @IntuitGabi .  Thank you in advance for your quick response.
