What this guide covers
⚠️ Before You Begin
You will need your acknowledgement report and Forms 8453 (if required).
📊 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Follow the acknowledgement statement
Use this when you need to decide whether to mail Forms 8453.
Sure-Fire prints a statement on the acknowledgment report, whether or not a PIN is used, reminding you to mail Forms 8453 for all accepted returns. This information is printed on all acknowledgments.
If you filed a return and used the PIN, and the PIN was accepted, please disregard this statement. Also, check the Main Information Sheet to see if the return does qualify to use the PIN.
In the self-select and practitioner PIN(s) section, select the Does this income tax return qualify to use a PIN check box. If this is Yes, then Form 8453 is not required. If this is No, then Form 8453 is required.
❌ Common Errors
If you use an accepted PIN, do not mail Forms 8453—disregard the printed statement.
