E-file Authorization using KBA
Note: The IRS requires identity verification when using e-Signature. If identity cannot be verified, the document must have a hand-written signature.
- Liscio has the option for eDocs to have verified e-Signatures using KBA (Knowledge Base Authentication). The signer will be asked a series of multiple choice questions to confirm their identity.
- KBA can be purchased along with eDocs to allow for the best user experience.
- When sending an eDoc, check mark the KBA box in the upper-right corner. It's an easy one click to ensure the information provided is coming from the correct individual.
