Form 1120 Didn't Have Signature

anthony1111 — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 04:36:34 GMT

I used the TurboTax Business 2021 product and submitted the return without diligently checking to see if everything was in order. The form didn't have the signature of the officer (me) but instead had the empty form that was meant to be signed. Is there a way I can change this and amend it to the return? What steps should I take to make sure the IRS will accept it as valid?

Thanks!

Which form?

The 8453-C or the 1120?

You do not have to be concerned with the 1120 if it was e-filed.

It was the 1120 Form. I also did eFile it.

It seems like there isn't a need to do anything?

Thank you for responding!

No, it should be fine. Did you attach the transmittal form (Form 8453-C)?

Yes I did attach the Form 8453-C but this too also doesn't have a signature

If you are looking at Form 8453-C in Forms Mode (in your list of forms), that particular form would not have a signature.

With TurboTax Business, you print out, sign and date the 8453-C, scan the signed and dated form, and then upload the scanned file into the program. Did you follow that procedure?

I printed out everything and completed the steps. The issue is that I accidently submitted the wrong file. The file I submitted was the blank one, without my signatures.

What would you recommend to resolve this issue?

I would suggest contacting Support (link below) before doing anything further.

What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)

Did you receive an email indicating your return was accepted (or does it show it was e-filed and accepted in the program? If not, you will most likely have to resubmit the return with the signed and dated 8453-C attached.
