Q) How do I sign my tax return when I e-file using online filing software?

A) When you file your tax return electronically, you must electronically sign the return. This is done using a personal identification number (PIN).

To sign your tax return electronically using online filing software, you will need to:

1. Create a PIN.
2. Enter your PIN when prompted by the software.
3. Review and confirm your return.
4. Submit your return.

Here are the steps on how to create a PIN:

1. Go to the IRS website and click on “Get a PIN.”
2. Enter your Social Security number and date of birth.
3. Click on “Continue.”
4. Read and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Click on “Create PIN.”
6. Enter your desired PIN.
7. Click on “Create PIN.”
