State eSignatures

With UltraTax CS eSignature, your clients can electronically sign documents and authorization forms using a mobile device or computer. UltraTax CS allows eSignatures for authorization forms for 1040, federal 1120, and federal 1065 returns. You can use eSignatures for Bank Account Verification worksheets, engagement letters, and consent documents for 114a, 1040, 1120, 1065, 1041, 706, 709, 8878, and 990 returns.
Not all states have adopted the IRS eSignature guidelines. West Virginia requires an e-file authorization form similar to the federal Form 8879, but they don't allow eSignature. All other states either allow eSignature on their e-file authorization form or don’t require a separate e-file authorization form.
You can usually eSign Bank Account Authorization forms and other applicable documents for states (in any entity) that allow electronic filing. Review the
eSign
 screen in the
Electronic filing
 folder for the state return to review the forms that are available for eSignature. If a state return doesn’t have an
eSign
 screen, eSignatures aren't available for that return.
