I am a trustee (fiduciary) e-filing a final trust return (1041). No tax is due. I am not paid a paid preparer. Am I required to sign Part III of the form 8453-FE as paid preparer or ERO? Thank you.

As the trustee you would only sign in Part II of Form 8453-FE. Part III should only be signed by the ERO or Paid Preparer.

The ERO is the Authorized IRS e-file Provider who originates the electronic submission of a return to the IRS.
