General Instructions TIP Instead of filing Form 8453-C, a corporate officer filing a corporation’s return through an electronic return originator (ERO) can sign the return using a personal identification number (PIN). For details, see Form 8879-C, IRS e-file Signature Authorization for Form 1120. Purpose of Form Use Form 8453-C to: • Authenticate an electronic Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return; • Authorize the ERO, if any, to transmit via a third-party transmitter; • Authorize the intermediate service provider (ISP) to transmit via a thirdparty transmitter if you are filing online (not using an ERO); and • Provide the corporation’s consent to directly deposit any refund and/ or authorize an electronic funds withdrawal for payment of federal taxes owed. Who Must File If you are filing a 2021 Form 1120 through an ISP and/or transmitter and you are not using an ERO, you must file Form 8453-C with your electronically filed return. An ERO can use either Form 8453-C or Form 8879-C to obtain authorization to file a corporation’s Form 1120. When and Where To File File Form 8453-C with the corporation’s electronically filed income tax return. Use a scanner to create a Portable Document Format (PDF) file of the completed form. Your tax preparation software will allow you to transmit this PDF file with the return. Specific Instructions Name. Print or type the corporation’s name in the space provided. Employer identification number (EIN). Enter the corporation’s EIN in the space provided. Part II. Declaration of Officer Note: The corporate officer must check all applicable boxes on line 6. If the corporation has tax due (line 4) and the officer did not check box 6c, the corporation must make a timely payment using one of the methods described in the Instructions for Form 1120. For more information on depositing taxes, see the Instructions for Form 1120. If the officer checks box 6c, the officer must ensure that the following information relating to the financial institution account is provided in the tax preparation software. • Routing number. • Account number. • Type of account (checking or savings). • Debit amount. • Debit date (date the corporation wants the debit to occur). An electronically transmitted return will not be considered complete, and therefore filed, unless either: • Form 8453-C is signed by a corporate officer, scanned into a PDF file, and transmitted with the return; or • The return is filed through an ERO and Form 8879-C is used to select a PIN that is used to electronically sign the return. The officer’s signature allows the IRS to disclose to the ERO, transmitter, and/or ISP: • An acknowledgement that the IRS has accepted the corporation’s electronically filed return, and • The reason(s) for any delay in processing the return or refund. Page 2 The declaration of officer must be signed and dated by: • The president, vice president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, chief accounting officer; or • Any other corporate officer (such as tax officer) authorized to sign the corporation’s income tax return. If the ERO makes changes to the electronic return after Form 8453-C has been signed by the officer, whether it was before it was transmitted or if the return was rejected after transmission, the ERO must have the officer complete and sign a corrected Form 8453-C if either: • The total income on Form 1120, line 11, differs from the amount on the electronic return by more than $150; or • The taxable income on Form 1120, line 30, differs from the amount on the electronic return by more than $100. 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 corporation’s return is filed through an ERO, the IRS requires the ERO’s signature. A paid preparer, if any, must sign Form 8453-C in the space for Paid Preparer 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.” Use of PTIN Paid preparers. Anyone who is paid to prepare the corporation'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 EROs who are not also the paid preparer of the return have 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. 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. Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. We ask for the information on this form to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. You are required to give us the information. We need it to ensure that you are complying with these laws and to allow us to figure and collect the right amount of tax. Section 6109 requires EROs to provide their identifying numbers on the return. You are not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number.

The estimated burden for business taxpayers filing this form is approved under OMB control number 1545-0123 and is included in the estimates shown in the instructions for their business income tax return.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
