eFile Authorization

This eFile authorization form is for individual or personal tax returns.

 

 

We have created a completely paperless system for authorizing the electronic filing of your Federal and State tax returns. By completing the following eFile Authorization form, you are consenting to the electronic signing of Form 8879 and similar state forms. If you want to review, sign and return the paper forms, please refer to your tax return PDF in your client portal for instructions.

Otherwise, please read the following disclosure, and complete the following items. Thank you!

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined a copy of my electronic individual income tax return and accompanying schedules and statements for the tax year selected below, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete. I consent to allow the Watson CPA Group as an Electronic Return Originator to send my return to the IRS and any State taxing jurisdictions, and to receive (a) an acknowledgement of receipt or reason for rejection of the transmission, (b) the reason for any delay in processing the return or refund, and (c) the date of any refund.

If applicable, I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an ACH electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of my Federal taxes owed on this return and/or a payment of estimated tax, and the financial institution to debit the entry to this account. I further understand that this authorization may apply to future Federal tax payments that I direct to be debited through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). In order for me to initiate future payments, I request that the IRS send me a personal identification number (PIN) to access EFTPS. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until I notify the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent to terminate the authorization. To revoke a payment, I must contact the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 1-888-353-4537 no later than 2 business days prior to the payment (settlement) date. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment.

If applicable, I authorize State taxing jurisdictions and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an ACH electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of my State taxes owed on this return and/or a payment of estimated tax, and the financial institution to debit the entry to this account. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment.

I further acknowledge that the personal identification number (PIN) below is my signature for my electronic income tax return and, if applicable, my Electronic Funds Withdrawal Consent.

Warning! If you recently sent us changes or additional information, DO NOT give us authorization to eFile until you’ve received the updated tax returns.
