Got questions?
Can I sign my 8814 form in electronic format?
Based on eSignature laws, forms signed digitally have the same validity as traditionally approved ones. You can eSign almost any business and personal documentation. Four types of paperwork still require handwritten signatures only - wills and testamentary trusts, court orders and other court forms, state statutes regulating divorce, adoption, or other family law, and notice of cancellation of utility services. If you adhere to the guidelines and use a secure and compliant software solution, like DocHub, you can eSign your 8814 form without printing it.
