The FTB is adding electronic signature options to its e-file procedures, mirroring IRS procedures by allowing taxpayers and tax practitioners to sign using a personal identification number.

Beginning January, the FTB will accept electronic signatures using Self-Select PIN and Practitioner PIN methods.

In addition, you still will have the option to use the California E-file Return Authorization (Form 8453).
