I often e-mail clients a .pdf copy of their tax return to review, along with a .pdf copy of Form 8879 to sign and return to me prior to filing the return electronically. Usually, the signed Form 8879 is mailed or faxed back. One client just asked if a digitally signed .pdf copy sent by e-mail is acceptable. I don't see why it would not be acceptable, since the entire return is accepted without a written signature and digital signatures are more and more common. Comments??
