Easiest to make pdf attachment.  

With 1040 open select from top menu E-File/Attach pdf files. Add attachment and select type 'Form 8949'

Form 8453 will automatically be generated. 

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround

If the transactions are all Box  A and D, you can just directly enter the proceeds and basis on the capital assets sales worksheet.

If they are all covered (basis reported to IRS) you just enter total short term, and total long term on the Capital Assets Sale Worksheet
