An estate or trust must file its income tax return by the

15th day of the 4th month following the close of its tax

year. This filing date also applies to returns filed

electronically or on magnetic media. For returns filed

electronically, the transmitter must send the signed

Form 8453-F by the day the transmission is made. For

returns filed on magnetic tape or diskette, the

transmitter must send the signed Form 8453-F in the

same package with the corresponding tape or diskette.

The EMMRO is one who deals directly with the

fiduciary and either prepares tax returns or collects

prepared tax returns, including Forms 8453-F, for

fiduciaries who wish to have the return of the estate or

trust electronically or magnetically filed. The EMMRO’s

signature is required by the IRS.

Signature For Multiple-Return Filing

A single signature may be used for a multiple-return

filing if the fiduciary is authorized to sign each return.

The signer must attach a multiple-return information

listing according to the instructions in Pub. 1437,

Procedures for Electronic and Magnetic Media Filing of

U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, Form

1041, for Tax Year 1999. The information listing must

include the name control of each estate or trust, its

employer identification number (EIN), and the

information shown on lines 1 through 5 for each return.

through 5.
