Where do I enter the IRS e-file signature authorization for an extension (Form 8878)?

If you are a Paid Preparer filing an extension, the FreeTaxUSA software will provide you a Form 8878, IRS e-file Signature Authorization that your client can sign to authorize e-filing of their federal extension. Paid preparers keep Form 8878. It's not sent to the IRS.

Free federal for everyone
