Q: How is e-signing helpful for tax payers and tax professionals for submitting an 8453-EX?

A: E-signing streamlines communication between tax preparers and their clients. In the past, tax preparers had no choice but to fax or mail hard copies of this form to get their client's consent. By e-signing, the client can simply login and sign to authorize a third party to prepare their return, making everyone's lives easier!
