Washington - IRS adds six more forms to list that can be signed digitally; 16 now available

On August 28, the IRS announced that it would temporarily allow the use of digital signatures on certain formsthat cannot be filed electronically. September 10, the agency added several more forms (PDF) to that list.

The IRS made this decision to help protect the health of taxpayers and tax professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The change will help to reduce in-person contact and lessen the risk to taxpayers and tax professionals, allowing both groups to work remotely to timely file forms.
