jlewis Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Having to print page 1 of 3115 so I can manually write in "See Stmt" on line 1(a) to reflect 3 concurrent change numbers with other information I have on a a couple of schedules that I would be able to use with several clients instead of preparing 3 individual 3115's. Then page 1 would be signed, dated and scanned in with schedules to complete the form. Question-would scanning and attaching this form as pdf file to efile tax return satisfy requirement that the "original" is sent to IRS with return? When I look at it as an attachment in the return it is not as crisp & clear as an original, and is a scanned pdf signature original? Maybe, as has been mentioned before here, I am 'overthinking" the situation. Any comments appreciated, thanks. Quote
Terry D EA Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Someone correct me if I am wrong but I thought any supporting documents needed to be mailed to the IRS using form 8453. Quote
jlewis Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 A webinar on this the speaker said he didn't see a problem with attaching 3115 with schedules to efiled return and he didn't find anything to the contrary. I'm torn between that method or using the 8453. A pdf attachment would be easier and more efficient in my mind. Any other thoughts? Quote
Lion EA Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Form 3115 as part of return with pdf attachments for any worksheets I create outside the return. Still have to mail a second one to Ogden or where ever. Only a very specific list of documents get mailed with 8453. Edited February 3, 2015 by Lion EA 1 Quote
