Read MoreThe IRS has extended the availability of electronic signatures on certain audit and non-audit forms. Through October 31, 2023, taxpayers and their authorized representatives may electronically sign documents and email documents to the IRS. This is an exception to normal policy. Previously, the IRS had allowed e-signatures through the end of 2021.
The Service will accept e-signatures during audit or collection for:
extensions of statute of limitations on an assessment or collection;
waivers of statutory notice of deficiency and consents to an assessment;
closing agreements; and
other statements or forms collected outside standard filing procedures.
The IRS accepts two types of electronic signatures during an audit or collection interaction (1) digital signatures, and (2) imaged signatures. Regarding imaging signatures, taxpayers that do not have a digital certificate may hand sign a document, and then scan or photograph the document and save it in a standard picture format such as JPEG, TIFF or PDF.
