Form 8858

Since Proconnect intuit does not have any form 8858, can we just attach the form 8858 on the e-file attachment or do we need to paper file the tax return?

Thanks

When all else fails, read the instructions. In this case the instructions for 8858

Electronic Filing of Form 8858
If you file your income tax return
electronically, see the instructions for
your income tax return for general
information about electronic filing.
Note. If you are filing Form 1120 or
1065 electronically, you must attach
Form 8858 electronically (as an
attachment to your electronically filed
Form 1120, Form 1065, Form 5471, or
Form 8865). If you are filing Form 1040,
Form 1040-SR, or Form 1041
electronically (with or without a Form
5471 or Form 8865), attach Form 8858
to the applicable Form 8453

Thank you for the response. I am filing form 1040 and the instruction for the Form 8453 says I have to paper file it. Is there any way I can prevent sending any mail to the IRS as it is quite expensive just to mail a single form

Hi thanks but I'm filing an individual return so I need to confirm if I can just file the return with the form 8858 as an attachment

Yes, attach to return as a pdf Since the form you want is on the 8453, you must mail the 8453 and any form that you did a checkbox mark for. The address is on the 8453 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8453.pdf
