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:
Internal Revenue Service File Form 8453 only if you are attaching one or more of the following forms or supporting documents:
|
Be sure to send any Forms 8453 via Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested so that you’ll have proof that you sent them and that they were received. |
How long should a taxpayer keep tax related records:

Late Filing (If the tax return is more than 60 days late, the minimum penalty is the smaller of $100 or 100% of the tax owed.) |
5% per month of the net tax due (maximum 25%) |
Late filing due to fraud |
15% per month of the net tax due (maximum 75%) |

Below are the tax rate schedules. By using the appropriate schedule for the taxpayer’s filing status you can determine the taxpayer’s tax bracket. The tax brackets are adjusted each year for inflation. If the inflation rate in 2014 is 5%, the 15% bracket for 2014 will be increased by 5% – rounded down to the nearest $50. The taxpayer’s tax bracket is the amount of tax that the taxpayer pays on his “top dollar” of income. The actual tax rate that the taxpayer pays on his taxable income below his “top dollar” is less because the tax rates are graduated and because they are applied to the taxpayer’s taxable income after deductions and exemptions. The taxpayer may also be entitled to tax credits against any tax due.Determine the taxpayer’s taxable income from Form 1040 Line 43 and in the far left column of the appropriate schedule for the taxpayer’s filing status locate his income bracket. The percentage figure in the third column to the right titled “The tax is:” shows the taxpayer’s tax bracket.
CAUTION: You should only use the schedules below to determine the taxpayer’s tax due if the taxpayer’s taxable income (Form 1040, Line 43) is $100,000 or more. Even though you cannot use the tax rate schedules below if the taxpayer’s taxable income is less than $100,000, all levels of taxable income are shown so you can see what the taxpayer’s tax bracket is. |
