e-file with Tax Preparers

Electronic filing is available whether you prepare your own return or use a preparer. However, only a tax preparer or other company that is approved by the IRS for e-file can file your return electronically for you. An approved transmitter must sign your Form MS 8453, Mississippi State Declaration for Electronic Filing.
