The Minnesota Department of Revenue has a policy on accepting electronic signatures for all statements, documents, and forms requiring signatures.
There are three types of signatures we will accept from you and your clients.
-
Wet signatures are physical marks, usually a person?s signature, on a statement, document, or form.
-
Electronic signatures can take many forms, including but not limited to:
- A typed name
- A typed name with an indication that they intend it to act as a signature (such as /s/)
- A typed name using computer script on an electronic form or document, including a scanned, photocopied, or otherwise reproduced image of a handwritten signature
-
Digital signatures use an authentication mechanism issued by a certification authority (like DocuSign or AdobeSign) enabling a person-specific authenticated code to act as a signature.
We cannot accept electronic or digital signatures on:
- Statements, documents, and forms with unique signature requirements because of a specific statute, rule, division policy, or procedure. Examples include certain tax liens and tax orders where the amount exceeds $1,000.
- Electronic tax return filings where we require other identity verification methods.
We may request a ?Statement of Intention or Attribution? from a client if we question their intent to use a marking as a binding signature on a statement, document, or form.
