PA-8453 form

sankar_mukh — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:39:57 GMT

I filed my federeal and state. Fed is accepted.

For state, I remember a pop up saying that for PA, paper signature is required.

Does this mean that I have to print out the form 8453 and sign it and then snail mail it through post office?

But, I see this -Sign and date Form PA-8453 within 1 day of acceptance.

I am unclear what needs to be done.

Regards,

Sankar

No. You do not have to mail in Form PA-8453. Keep a copy with your records. Pennsylvania says:

Any taxpayer filing electronically from a home computer must keep the signed Form PA-8453 and supporting documents for three years after the due date of the return or the date the return was filed electronically, which-ever is later. Taxpayers must make the documents available to the PA Department of Revenue upon request.

Do not mail Form PA-8453 and attachments to the PA Department of Revenue unless requested.

See: Instructions for PA-8453.
