Reminders from the IRS

Electronic Return Originators are reminded to timely mail required Forms 8453 and 8453-P to Internal Revenue Service within three business days after receiving acknowledgement of return acceptance. An electronic tax return is not considered filed until the IRS receives a complete and signed Form 8453 or taxpayer's electronic signature. As follow-up to prior requests, the IRS will send Suspension Letter 2752 beginning in October. Please ensure you submit all previously requested Forms 8453.

 

Please do not mail multiple copies of each Form 8453 or Form 8453-P to the IRS, and remind your clients to keep their copy for their records. When a PIN signature method was used and accepted by the IRS, Form 8453 is not required.

 

See Publications 1345 and 1346 for additional information.

 

The sequence of the items in a package must be as follows:

 

the signed Form(s) 8453 or 8453-P;
