Form 8453 is used to transmit required paper forms or supporting documentation with an IRS e-filed individual income tax return. It provides fields for taxpayer identity, address, and SSN information and includes attachment checkboxes for specific forms only. The instructions explain when and where to file, including mailing within required business days after electronic acceptance and the correct IRS address. The form also specifies not to sign it and not to attach payments, and clarifies payment timing and methods separately.
