Declaration of Fiduciary
I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an ACH electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial institution
account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of the estate’s or trust’s taxes owed on this return, 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 prior to 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 above amounts (or the amounts on the attached listing) agree with the amounts shown on the corresponding lines of the
electronic portion of the 2022 U.S. Income Tax Return(s) for Estates and Trusts. I have also examined a copy of the return(s) being filed electronically with the IRS, and all
accompanying schedules and statements. To the best of my knowledge and belief, they are true, correct, and complete. If I am not the transmitter, I consent that the return(s),
including this declaration and accompanying schedules and statements, be sent to the IRS by the return transmitter. I also consent to the IRS’s sending the ERO and/or
transmitter an acknowledgment of receipt of transmission and an indication of whether or not the return(s) is accepted, and, if rejected, the reason(s) for the rejection.

CAUTION

Purpose of Form
Use Form 8453-FE to:
• Authenticate the electronic Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return
for Estates and Trusts;
• Authorize the electronic filer to transmit via a third-party
transmitter; and
• Authorize an electronic funds withdrawal for payment of federal
taxes owed.

When To File
An estate or trust must file its income tax return by the 15th day of
the 4th month following the close of its tax year. This filing date also
applies to returns filed electronically.

Line 5
Payment of the tax due on line 5 of this form can be made by
EFTPS, ACH electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit), or check or
money order. If the payment is by ACH electronic funds withdrawal
(direct debit), be sure to check the box on line 6.
If payment is by check or money order, make it payable to the
“United States Treasury” and write the estate’s or trust’s name and
EIN and “2022 Form 1041” on the payment. Complete the Form
1041-V, Payment Voucher, and enclose it and the payment in an
envelope and mail it to the address shown on Form 1041-V.
Although you do not have to complete Form 1041-V, doing so
allows us to process the payment more accurately and efficiently.
Do not enclose Form 8453-FE with Form 1041-V.

www.EFTPS.gov or call 800-555-4477. To contact EFTPS using the

the TRS assistant the 800-555-4477 number above or
800-733-4829.

Line 6
Check the box only if you choose to pay the tax due by ACH
electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit). Otherwise, leave the box
blank.

Declaration of Electronic Return Originator
(ERO) and Paid Preparer
The ERO is one who deals directly with the fiduciary and either
prepares tax returns or collects prepared tax returns, including
Forms 8453-FE, for fiduciaries who wish to have the return of the
estate or trust electronically filed. The ERO’s signature is required
by the IRS.

A paid preparer who is also the ERO checks the box in the ERO’s
Use Only section labeled “Check if also paid preparer.” A paid
preparer who is not the ERO must sign Form 8453-FE in the space
for Paid Preparer Use Only.

Use of PTIN
Paid preparers. Anyone who is paid to prepare the estate’s or
trust’s return must enter their PTIN in Part III. For information on
applying for and receiving a PTIN, see Form W-12, IRS Paid
Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) Application and Renewal,
or visit www.irs.gov/ptin.
EROs who are not paid preparers. Only an ERO who is not the
paid preparer of the return has the option to enter their PTIN or their
social security number in the ERO’s Use Only section of Part III. For
information on applying for and receiving a PTIN, see Form W-12 or
visit www.irs.gov/ptin.
