Does my 2024 tax return only require one signature?

Hello, for the year of 2024, I have to send FORM 1040 (U.S. Individual Income Tax Return), SCHEDULE B (Interest and Ordinary Dividends) & FORM 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) to the IRS by mail.

Could someone confirm that I only need to sign FORM 1040 - U.S. Individual Income Tax Return?

I asked the question because one time I forgot to sign and all the forms were returned to me ... Thank you in advance !

If you are filing by mail and you are filing a joint return, both spouses must sign and date the return. If your filing status is single, MFS, HOH or QSS, then you are the only one who signs.

Yes you (and spouse if married) only need to sign the 1040 on the bottom of the 2nd page (or page 3 of 1040-SR) . Not the other schedules and forms.
