ERO Question

Greetings all.

I am getting ready to file my 2025 taxes for a Trust, for which I am the Trustee.

I am using TT Business, and have done my own taxes (No paid preparer).

As in the past, I intend to use E-File. I've noticed this year that on the 8453-FE, there is a “Declaration of Electronic Return Originator (ERO)”. I've researched when/if this is required, but it is unclear to me if an ERO is required in my situation. Not sure if this is new, but I have never used an ERO before.

 

As always, thanks in advance for any input.
