A Tax Return Preparer (TRP) is an Income Tax Department-approved individual who is trained to assist taxpayers in filing their income tax returns. A TRP need not be a chartered accountant or a tax lawyer but has the skills required to help individuals file their tax returns in lieu of a nominal fee.

The De Minimis Rule for nonsigning preparers says that a portion of the return will not be considered substantial if the item in question or claim for refund involves related amounts that are: Reported on one form or less completed by the non-signing preparer.

When you file your individual tax return electronically, you must electronically sign the tax return with a personal identification number (PIN) using the Self-Select PIN or the Practitioner PIN method.

In the current indirect tax regime, there are accounting and tax professionals who are authorized to file returns on behalf of taxable persons. Currently, this role is performed by Chartered Accountants (CAs), Sales Tax Practitioners (STPs) and advocates.

The law REQUIRES paid tax preparers to sign your tax return by first and last name. No exceptions. Always verify they signed the "TAX PREPARER SIGNATURE" line on your state and federal tax returns.

What will happen? No there isn't a way to correct it, a printed and mailed federal tax return without a signature will be returned by the IRS to the address shown on the tax return. You will need to wait until the IRS mails it back to you to sign the tax return and mail back to the IRS.

The ERO prints Form 8879, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, and the Practitioner or Self-Select PIN Consent to Disclosure form. Form 8879, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, must be signed by the taxpayer / spouse.
