Declaration of Taxpayer (see instructions)
I am requesting a refund on Form 720 or Form 8849.
I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry
to the financial institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of the federal taxes owed for the
return indicated on line 1a or 2a, and the financial institution to debit the entry to this account. To revoke a payment, I must
contact the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 1-888-353-4537 no later than 2 business days before the payment (settlement)
date. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive
confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that the information I have given my electronic return originator (ERO), transmitter, and/or intermediate service provider (ISP) and
the amounts in Part I above agree with the amounts on the corresponding return. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the return is true, correct, and complete. I
consent to my ERO, transmitter, and/or ISP sending the return, this declaration, and accompanying schedules and statements to the IRS. I also consent to the IRS
sending my ERO, transmitter, and/or ISP an acknowledgment of receipt of transmission and an indication of whether or not the return is accepted, any indication of a
refund offset, and, if rejected, the reason(s) for the rejection. If the processing of the return or refund is delayed, I authorize the IRS to disclose to my ERO, transmitter,
and/or ISP the reason(s) for the delay, or when the refund was sent.

Form 8453-EX (7-2007)

General Instructions
Note. Instead of filing Form 8453-EX, a taxpayer filing an
excise tax return or request for refund through an electronic
return originator (ERO) can sign the return or request for
refund using a personal identification number (PIN). For
details, see Form 8879-EX, IRS e-file Signature Authorization
for Forms 720, 2290, and 8849.

Purpose of Form
Use Form 8453-EX to:
● Authenticate an electronic Form 720, 2290, or 8849;
● Authorize the ERO, if any, to transmit via a third-party
transmitter;
● Authorize the intermediate service provider (ISP) to
transmit via a third-party transmitter if you are filing online
(not using an ERO); and
● Provide the taxpayer’s consent to authorize an electronic
funds withdrawal for payment of federal taxes owed.

Who Must File
If you are filing Form 720, 2290, or 8849 through an ISP
and/or transmitter and you are not using an ERO, you must
file Form 8453-EX with your electronically filed return. An
ERO can use either Form 8453-EX or Form 8879-EX to
obtain authorization to file Forms 720, 2290, and 8849.

The taxpayer’s signature allows the IRS to disclose to the
ERO, transmitter, and/or ISP:
● An acknowledgement that the IRS has accepted the
electronically filed return,
● The reason(s) for any delay in processing the return or
refund, and
● If an offset may occur. Substitute "An indication of and offset."

Part III. Declaration of Electronic Return
Originator (ERO) and Paid Preparer
Note. If the return is filed online through an ISP and/or
transmitter (not using an ERO), do not complete Part III.
If the taxpayer’s return is filed through an ERO, the IRS
requires the ERO’s signature. A paid preparer, if any, must
sign Form 8453-EX in the space for Paid Preparer’s Use
Only. But if the paid preparer is also the ERO, do not
complete the paid preparer section. Instead, check the box
labeled Check if also paid preparer.”
Refunds. After the IRS has accepted the return, the refund
should be issued within 3 weeks. However, some refunds
may be delayed because of compliance reviews to ensure
that returns are accurate.
