The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, otherwise known as the E-Sign Act, states that electronic signatures shouldn't be considered invalid simply because they're electronic. In other words, e-signatures are completely legal and binding.

Taxpayers and representatives may use electronic or digital signatures when signing certain forms that currently require a handwritten signature and that cannot be filed using IRS e-File. See Exhibit 10.10. 1-2, for a list of forms where such electronic or digital signatures are permitted.

How does the e-signature option work? Taxpayers, who currently use Forms 8878 or 8879 to sign electronic Forms 1040 federal tax returns or filing extensions, can use an e-signature to sign and electronically submit these forms to their Electronic Return Originator (ERO).
