Questions about my income taxes?

Asked by AshlynM (10684

So my tax preparer just sent me a copy of my federal and state returns. I have 2 sets of papers, they are both the same, however…one is in a blue folder marked client copy and another set is stapled together with a note saying where I need to sign them.

He also provided a stamped, addressed envelope to the department of revenue for Indiana.

I have the e signature authorization form 8879, which I already signed and sent back to the guy who did my taxes.

I believed my tax guy efiled for me so I do I really need to sign the papers he sent me as well and send them to the stamped, addressed envelope he provided? My returns are for Indiana.

I’m a little confused. If he efiled, why would I need to sign my taxes and send to DOR in IN?

With all the government shutdown talk last week maybe they were worried (some government sites were going to be closed) that it might not get processed with e-file.

I would just spend the two minutes to call and ask in the morning.

Some states require an 8453-OL to submit to them if you’ve e-filed. If this was one of the forms your tax preparer provided you with, it’s wise to mail it to the state agency. If you owe a payment to the state agency, you’ll have to mail a voucher and your payment to the address listed on the voucher.
