E-Signatures in NY, Covid-19

[G2R]

Just curious if anyone is ignoring NY State's nonacceptance about e-signatures given the current state of affairs.

I have my NY commuters download their signature pages from CCH's FileShare and wet sign and return to me via mail/fax/scan & upload/whatever method is convenient for them. Some take pictures on their phones to text to me; lousy quality so I e-file but tell them to mail me the original. If they're sending a check or other documents, they might use UPS/FedEx.

They didn't sign electronically. I just receive it electronically or via mail/UPS/FedEx. So, that's what I'm doing this year. If the filing deadline is truly extended to 15 July and they don't owe, I'll probably receive more via mail and have the actual wet signature for my files. Because I can store the signature pages electronically, I don't think anyone could tell the difference. But, NY is the only state that will not accept eSign.
