Abstract: If you are filing a 2006 Form 1065-B through an ISP and/or transmitter and you are not using an ERO, you must file Form 8453-B with your electronically filed return. An ERO can use either Form 8453-B or Form 8879-B to obtain authorization to file the partnership’s Form 1065-B.

Emergency Justfication: In order to meet the Agency responsibility of providing accurate and timely information and guidance to the taxpayers, we are requesting OMB approval by 12/22/2006. The IRS has been in constant dialog with various offices within the Agency to ensure the accuracy of the new form. Solicitation from the general public was requested through and early "draft" release program. The IRS provided copies of the draft form to the general public to solicit comments and feedback on the effectiveness of the form. After all comments that were timely received were considered and the internal review process completed, there is insufficient time to meet the normal OMB approval processing timeframe. Taxpayers will need this form to electronically sign their 2006 tax return. By delaying or preventing taxpayer’s ample time to review and understand this new form, the Agency would be unable to meet the needs and services provided - as explained in the Agency mission statement.
