Form 8453

[Naveen Mohan from New York]

I just realized that I was supposed to have attached a pdf of signed 8453 or8453S for each corporate return that I efiled.

In the past each time I created efile for corporation system accepted my efile even though I did not attach signed pdf of form 8453 or 8453S.

I know I cannot blame system for my oversight in not attaching pdf of signed 8453 or 8453S but what are my options for tax returns that IRS has already accepted but where I did not attach signed form 8453 or 8453S.

also is there a stature of limitation on non filing of form 8453.

Thanks for your help.

Naveen,

It is my understanding that if you file as an ERO then form 8879 or 8879-S is fine. If the corp is filing through an ISP and not an ERO, then the 8453 is required.

This is what it states in Pro Series under Government Instructions for 8453. As a "tip" it suggests filing 8879 or 8879-S as an alternative.

You can breathe easy!!
