What should appear in the signature block of a tax return about to be e-filed?

When a tax return prepared with TurboTax's Download version is ready for e-filing, should the populated signature block show the words "SELF-PREPARED" (along with the taxpayer's phone number and perhaps occupation or email address) but not the taxpayer's name or PIN?

There is no physical signature on the form when you e-file.  You "sign" electronically by entering your AGI or PIN.  If you are asked for a "signed" copy someday, for a lender, etc., take out a pen and sign it to keep them happy.

Thanks for your answer!  After taking the required steps for an electronic signature, I was looking in the signature block for--if not my name or PIN--at least something like the word "Signed" as a confirmation.  Apparently the signature block doesn't need to show any of those things for a filed return to be accepted.
