Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if my return is accepted?
A : If your return is ACCEPTED and you qualified for and chose to use a Self Selected PIN, you need to take no other action. At this point in time IRS requires that the return is signed electronically. The option to send in the paper signature document, the previous Form 8453-OL ,no longer exists.
Once we receive the acknowledgment of your eFiled return's acceptance form the IRS, we have no further information about or control of your refund process. Because FileYourTaxes.com is merely an OnLine service and is not acting as your tax preparer, and if we do not have a limited or full power of attorney from you the tax offices will not divulge information about the return to us. Therefore, we will not be able to answer any subsequent questions. If you have not received your refund three weeks after the date of your acknowledgment, you may contact the IRS to obtain a voice message (TeleTax), toll free at
800-829-4477 .
or go to www.irs.gov and click on “Where’s My Refund.” .
If there are paper attachments that need to be submitted as part of the eFiled return, they will be transmitted to the IRS using the Form 8453, only. If required, documents containing required signatures must be attached to Form 8453. Following are examples of such documents:
