New York taxpayers gain electronic signatures

Beginning July 1, 2027, New York State tax officials must establish procedures for electronic signatures on tax documents. These procedures must follow federal tax agency procedures when practical. Representatives with a valid power of attorney handled by New York State or New York City tax officials can electronically sign required documents. Their electronic signatures count the same as handwritten signatures when they follow the required procedures. The law allows advance rulemaking to prepare for the July 2027 start.
