Gentle Readers,
This is likely my shortest missive of all time. Don’t dismay: if I survive the April tax deadline (and I always do), I’ll be back with long and windy articles with breathtaking insights and commentary. However, today my message is short and sweet.
You must return the signed Form 8879 before your tax preparer can file your return!!
Gentle Readers,
This is likely my shortest missive of all time. Don’t dismay: if I survive the April tax deadline (and I always do), I’ll be back with long and windy articles with breathtaking insights and commentary. However, today my message is short and sweet.

You are not done until you’ve returned the signed form, nothing will happen until you return it, no tax return will be filed, nothing, nadda! Additionally, if I am delayed in attending my after tax season party because I have to chase down missing Forms 8879, I will be unhappy. When I send you my invoice, I will remember that I was unhappy and that I had to go to my party late because I had to chase you down for your Form 8879…. I think we understand each other.
How, you may ask, can you expeditiously get your signed Form 8879 to me (so I’m not late to the party)? I really don’t care how you get it to me: fax, snail mail, in person, carrier pigeon, email. I do, however, prefer that you use secure email or secure carrier pigeon because your social security number is on the form.
Happy tax season, and may all your Forms 8879 be timely!
