For your convenience, ExpressExtension has generated the 8453-TE (signature authorization form) with extension form 8868. Please follow the instructions below to get the taxpayer's signature on Form 8453-TE.

Step 1: Download and review the generated 8453-TE form in PDF format. 
                                                      
Step 2: You have multiple options to send Form 8453-TE to the taxpayer for their signature.

• By E-sign, where you can request the taxpayer to e-sign Form 8453-TE. An email with a link to e-sign the form is sent to the taxpayer for their signature.
• Email or Fax Form 8453-TE to your client for their signature. Upon receiving the signed Form 8453-TE  from your client, you must sign it as the Tax professional. Finally, upload the signed Form 8453-TE to complete the authorization process.

That's it! Now you can continue to transmit the extension form 8868 along with the signature Form 8453-TE to the IRS.
