Can I submit selections electronically?

Yes. Electronic submissions are valid under the federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state UETA laws when intent, consent, attribution, and retention are satisfied. Verify any program-specific exceptions before e-submission.

What if the company name differs from EIN records?

Correct the form to match IRS records or include a statutory 'doing business as' line. Mismatches can trigger reporting errors and may require amended filings with the receiving agency or payer.

Who must sign the selection?

An individual with authority under corporate bylaws or operating agreement should sign. If authority is delegated, attach a short authorization or board resolution to show signing power.

Is notarization required for these selections?

Not typically. Notarization depends on the specific selection or program. If a notary or witnesses are required, follow state notary and RON rules to preserve validity.

How do I correct an error after filing?

Submit an amended selection or corrective filing per the receiving organization's instructions. Record the amendment with a dated signature and retain both versions for audit purposes.

What evidence proves electronic signatures were valid?

Maintain an audit trail showing signer identity, timestamp, IP address, and consent to conduct business electronically. Where required, stronger authentication (SMS, KBA, or certificate) may be necessary.

Best practices to complete Business GE Selections accurately

Follow these practical rules to minimize rework, ensure enforceability, and preserve an evidentiary record for audits.

Use exact legal identifiers

Always use the entity’s legal name and EIN as registered; discrepancies trigger reporting mismatches and may require corrected filings with the recipient or tax authorities.

Confirm authority in writing

Attach a board resolution or delegation of authority when a signer’s ability to bind the company might be questioned during downstream review or audit.

Preserve audit trails

When using electronic signing, ensure the platform captures timestamps, signer authentication, IP addresses, and a tamper-evident certificate for evidentiary support.

Record amendments clearly

For any post-submission changes, create an executed amendment referencing the original selection, with dates and authorizing signatures to avoid ambiguity.
