RitaB Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I need to mail two Forms 8453 today. I know to print them AFTER E-file accepted, because the DCN/Submission ID is indeed different than the day I printed the return. Additionally, under the Submission ID #, there are four boxes here, and the two middle boxes are empty. Directions for the form say to enter the EFIN, (check), and the five digit Batch and Serial Number. Well, the Batch and Serial Number are supposed to be five digits ending in "2", according to the aforementioned instructions. Where might they be? The five digits following the EFIN in the submission ID on the one in front of me do NOT end in "2". I am tempted to assume that the DCN/Submission ID printed by the software is all that is needed, and the empty boxes are just there to push me over the edge. It's the little foxes that spoil the vine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Time that you worry about DCN numbers is wasted time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
