On April 3, 2007, the IRS sent out the following QuickAlert: Individual Filers - Attachments to Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Declaration for an IRS e-file Return
"ATTN: Software Developers, Return Transmitters and Authorized IRS e-file Providers/EROs
Electronic Return Originators are reminded that in most instances Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Declaration for an IRS e-file Return, mailed to the Internal Revenue Service should not include a copy of the electronically filed Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ or 1040EZ-T tax return.
Electronic Return Originators must, however, attach a copy of pages one and two of the U.S. Individual Income Tax Return if the paid preparer is NOT the Electronic Return Originator and the signature of the paid preparer cannot be obtained on Form 8453. Write COPY-DO NOT PROCESS on each page. See Publication 1345 (revised 11-04), page 26 for additional guidance.
Authorized IRS e-file Providers must mail Form 8453 to the IRS within three business days after receiving acknowledgement that the return was accepted. An electronically transmitted return will not be considered complete until a Form 8453 signed by the taxpayer is received by the IRS.
Form 8453 should not be submitted to the IRS when a return is accepted with a PIN signature.
Thank you for your assistance.
