RE: [taxchat] Preparer Signature

Your signature was required up until a couple of years ago until a computer-generated signature was accepted. I don't think that just a PTIN is sufficient. Why don't you sign page 2 and then scan it and send as a PDF to your client?

Subject: Re: [taxchat] Preparer Signature

I have a question about the preparers signature at the bottom of the 1040.

I am preparing past years tax returns for clients who want the pdf file sent, it is quicker and saves postage, etc...

My question is, does the tax return need my signature if my PTIN is at the bottom? 

I think all the return needs is the taxpayers signature, but I can't seem to find a citation or reference that backs up this notion. Can anyone help me find the specific reference that allows me to let the return go out to the client for the client's signature and then on to the IRS with only my PTIN and not my signature at the bottom?

Thanks,

Marc
