ProSeries
and ProSeries Basic Edition
- New Electronic PIN Signature Requirement for Tax Practitioners and Use for Form 8453
The IRS has announced that beginning with the 2008 filing season, tax practitioners can e-file individual income tax returns only if the returns are signed electronically using one of two methods: either the Self-Select Personal Identification Number (PIN) method or the Practitioner PIN method.
The tax year 2007 ProSeries program will automatically check the "Sign return electronically using Practitioner PIN" box for federal individual income tax returns being filed electronically. The ProSeries program only supports the Practitioner PIN method.
Tax practitioners will no longer submit a paper signature for e-file returns using Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Declaration for an IRS e-file Return. Instead, the newly designed Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, will be used to transmit supporting paper documents that are required to be submitted to the IRS with e-file returns. Only the forms and supporting documents listed on the new Form 8453 can be submitted with the new form.
