Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, Form 56 is not filed electronically. It is a signature document so it is not required to be filed with the tax return and can be mailed by itself.

If you liked you can file the Form 56 with the tax return in the mail so they are all together. The connection would be slightly delayed if you e-file and then Form 56 is mailed, however, if you are only filing an individual tax return for the decedent, you may not need Form 56. If you file a Form 1041 for an estate (only required if the income is $600 or more in 2024), then you would file Form 56 with that return.
