State tax filing

Form 8453-OL is a form in which you declare that (1) you permit the use of an electronic signature to file your return, and (2) you authorize any deposit or direct debit which your return asks for you.

 

You put this form in your tax files - you do not send it to anyone. There is a similar form for your federal return, with the same impact. (Form 8453).
