Question US LLC Forms 5472/1120 digital signature ?

[entity1531]

Hi,

I hope everyone is doing well.

I wonder if anyone has submitted forms 5472/1120 for non-resident US LLC with a digital signature?

I mean PDF digital signature then fax it to the IRS.

Thank you.

I heard that if it is sent in on paper, they may actually check the ink. But if it's faxed, then obviously they cannot check the ink. I'd try my best to make sure it looks as real as possible. I wonder what they do if they decide the signature doesn't look inked. Would they throw it out? Would they send back a rejection letter?

I also wonder how it works when you are dealing internationally with a professional registered certified accountant, a lot of this stuff is done over email rather than in person.

I paid an accountant to do mine and he did a digitally signed signature. Apparently it's fine.

Afaik, you cannot fax the form. You can only mail by paper or e-file.

They use a software and do e-file
