What is the difference between an electronic signature and a digital signature?

The only difference is that an electronic signature is digitized, but it is also used to verify a document. On the other hand, it can be observed that a digital signature comprises unique features such as fingerprint that are used to secure a particular document.

What qualifies as a signed tax return?

What qualifies as a 'signed' tax return? To qualify as a 'signed tax return' the document must either: Be signed by at least one of the tax filers. Or, include the tax preparer's stamped, typed, signed, or printed name and SSN, EIN (Employer Identification Number), or PAIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number).

What is the signature page of a tax return?

The signature page is the page that you would have signed if you didn't sign it electronically for e-filing. Sometimes, these requests only require that you print a copy of your signature page, sign and date it for the date that you e-filed the return.

Why are original signatures required?

The original is always best. In law, we have something called the best evidence rule. Basically, if you are presenting evidence to a court, it must be the best evidence available. So if a signed agreement is evidence, then the agreement with the original signatures of both parties will be the best evidence.

Who keeps the original copy of a contract?

Each party should get an original signed copy of the contract for their files. That means if there are two parties to the contract, two identical contracts must be signed. One original copy of the contract should go to you, and one original copy should go to the other party.

Does your signature have to be your name?

Signatures necessarily do not have to spell your full name. Signatures are a mark affixed by a person on a document to show his consent or dissent from the writing of the same, provided he puts his hand up and owns that this is his mark.
