Where to Send Form 8453?

The Internal Revenue Service has simplified the signature process for electronically filed individual income tax returns, eliminating the need to send a Form 8453 to the IRS in most cases. This began with the 2008 filing season. You can e-file individual income tax returns only if the returns are signed electronically using a Practitioner PIN. A newly designed Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, will be used to transmit supporting paper documents that are required to be submitted to the IRS with e-filed returns. Only the specified forms listed below or supporting documents listed on Form 8453 can be submitted using the new form.

Mail Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return, to the following address:
