Form 8453-PE is missing my signature.

I used Turbotax Business and want to send it to IRS via e-file. After attaching your printed form 8453-PE (with signature) I printed what was to be sent, and the form 8453-PE contained in that PDF did not have my signature on it.

Only the 8453-PE form that you printed, signed, scanned, saved on your computer, and then uploaded to the software will have your signature on it. The 8453-PE in your forms list is just the "stock" form and will not contain your signature.

The only choice at this point is to print and mail or wait for an update.

@Ladyalltheway  If you attach a second one it should replace the first one as an attachment.
