Why was my batch rejected?

Rejections commonly occur because required fields are missing, signer emails are incorrect, or identity verification failed. Check the batch report for specific error codes, correct the underlying field, and resend to affected recipients.

Is an eSignature legally valid?

Yes in most U.S. transactions when ESIGN and UETA criteria are met: intent, consent, attribution, and record retention. Exceptions include wills, certain court filings, and some family law or real property documents per federal and state statutes.

When do documents require notarization?

Notarization is required for many deeds, some powers of attorney, and certain state-specific HR attestations. Check the state secretary of state or notary commission guidance; RON (remote online notarization) may be available subject to state rules.

How should missing TINs be handled?

Request a corrected W-9 from the payee before reporting. If a valid TIN is not collected, backup withholding at 24% may apply and IRS penalties can result. Maintain documentation of your collection attempts for audit purposes.

What causes signature mismatches in batches?

Mismatch occurs when signer name differs from authentication identity, signatures are applied to wrong fields, or the signer used an unverified image. Require signer authentication, review audit trails, and request re-execution if identity attribution is unclear.

How do I correct filed errors?

If incorrect information was submitted to tax authorities, file corrected returns (e.g., 1099 corrections) per IRS procedures. For internal records, update master files, note the change, and retain both original and corrected versions for the applicable retention period.
