Form 8879-F

lbanks — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:59:39 GMT

We’ve recently discovered that in certain electronically-filed 2008 Fiduciary (1041) returns, Form 8879-F was not included in the transmission. As a result, the IRS has notified some 1041 taxpayers that they need to complete a 2008 Form 8453-F with required signatures and either mail or fax it to the IRS along with the IRS notice they received.

Therefore, if any of your clients who filed a 2008 1041 tax return receive a notice from IRS requesting a Form 8453-F, please do the following:

· Remove the PIN information from Form 8879-F in the original e-filed 1041 return to automatically generate a Form 8453-F

· Obtain the required signatures from your client on the form

· Within ten days from the receipt of the IRS notice, mail the completed Form 8453-F – and a copy of the IRS notice - to the IRS at:

Department of the Treasury

Mail Stop 1056

1973 N. Rulon White Blvd

Ogden, UT 84404

· Or alternatively, you may fax the completed Form 8453-F - and the IRS notice - to IRS fax number 877-477-0575 within ten days from the receipt of the IRS notice. Be sure to write, “Attention Chris” on the cover letter.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

Due to new specifications by the State of New York regarding the Tax Preparer and Fiduciary PIN being required in the e-file, we have made a change in the NY 1041 system. Before e-filing any additional NY 1041 e-files, please upgrade the New York state module of the program.
