am doing 3115 to change depreciation because of cost segregation.  Am confused about whether to file with return or send in separately.

Thank you

Can you point out where it says that in the Form 3115 Instructions?  While that is PART of what needs to be done, it seems like you haven't actually read the Form 3115 Instructions, such as under the heading "When and Where to File".

What do the 3115 instructions say?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

attaching the pdf seems less hassle than mailing with the 8453
