Help with Form 8453-FE - Where to sign

[RaycoMan2022]

I am the executor of the estate and have completed the Form 1041 for the estate's tax filing.

I now need to complete/sign the Form 8453-FE, scan and attach to the electronic filing with the IRS.

Since there are no taxes owed on the estate, do I just sign in section Part II ? do I need to check box 6 in Part II for authorization of funds transfer since no taxes are owed and no refund is due. 

I don't believe I need to fill anything out in Part III.

Thanks,

Ray.

Correct. You only need to sign in Part II of the form (box 6 is automatically checked if necessary).
