General Instructions
The Taxpayer First Act, P.L. 116-25, increased the number and
types of tax-exempt and government entities required to file
information and tax returns electronically. To accommodate the
expansion of electronic filing, Forms 8453-EO and 8879-EO have
been replaced by Forms 8453-TE and 8879-TE, respectively. The
forms listed in Part I of Form 8453-TE and Form 8879-TE include
forms currently available for electronic filing as well as forms
expected to become available for electronic filing in 2022. Please
see the instructions for each specific form for more information
about electronic filing of that form.
TIP
Instead of filing Form 8453-TE, an entity officer or person
subject to tax filing an exempt entity return through an
electronic return originator (ERO) can sign the return
using a personal identification number (PIN). For details,
see Form 8879-TE, IRS e-file Signature Authorization for a Tax
Exempt Entity.

27, 2010. For information on applying for and receiving a PTIN, see
