TAXMAN Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 For users of ATX how do I get a printed signature in the signature box on page 1? I also did not see a date signed show up except on the efile page. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Under Tools be sure you have entered the data for preparer and checked the box Print Signature. Under Options/Preferences/Preparer Manager, select the preparer to Enter this preparer's information on all new returns or ERO's information.

TAXMAN Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 What I meant was how do I get the printed signature to look like it is a signature not a printed name. Sorry for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn1040 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I know this was a topic in the past, but i cannot find it to refer to: FIRST you have to have your picture saved on your computer. Mine is a scanned pdf go to customize master forms select 1040 (and then other forms you want to place your signature) select: edit then insert picture click in the signature box where you want the signature find your signature where you have saved it in your files it will now be on your page you will want to resize it so that it fits in the box. If you don't like the way it looks, you can go back and resize it later save master then close master not all forms will allow you to insert the picture so you will want to keep the box checked as described above. Your pic will be over the printed signature placed in the program. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 It used to be much easier if you merely wanted it to look like a signature. You could choose a font in the master form and it would show up. I really liked that option. It was prettier than my actual signature! I just use the printed one now as it is permitted by IRS and agencies. And I think the process by Hahn104 is above my pay grade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn1040 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 be sure to use "insert picture" do not "insert text" that does not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
