States that require their own signature forms for e-filing

I have been looking for the form that my client needs to sign in order to efile their taxes with WI. I checked everywhere in ATX and added and removed forms to no avail. Out of 40+ states, it had to be Wisconsin.

I am glad I found this info on line before going bananas.

Which states still require a signature form besides the Federal Form 8879 when efiling an Individual Tax Return?

The following states require a separate signature form for electronically filing an Individual Tax return:

For LOUISIANA returns:

 

FROM THE POWER POINT PRESENTATION AT THE 2015 MEETING WITH IRS AND PRACTITIONERS  (This is how it has been for as long as I can remember  even though the E-Filing handbook only describes what to do when E-Filing a Louisiana return only.)

 

WHEN E-FILING BOTH THE FEDERAL AND LOUISIANA RETURNS:

If using a PIN, retain the Federal E-file signature Authorization 
Document, IRS Form 8879.  (IRS 8879 serves as the LA signature document as well.)

The LA8453 will be used as an information document when IRS Form 8879 is used.

 

IF E-FILING LOUISIANA RETURN ONLY:

The LA8453 must be signed and retained when a state only return is transmitted.

 

Every once in a while, you discover that you did not make up things in your mind!  I have been worrying about jail time as I have always followed what LDR has told us in the yearly meetings and haven't had but 4 or 5 Louisiana 8453's signed.  I was elated to print out the power point presentation for my records as proof!! :)
