As part of a step toward full digitalization, the electronic option introduced August 2023, applies to the following filings: Gain recognition agreements, Late-filed dual consolidated losses, and Partnership gain deferral contributions. How the process works Requests can be submitted via eFax at 855-582-4842.

It also helps provide immediate documentation delivery to the IRS. For IRS employees, transitioning away from the manual mailing process reduces paper documentation and improves processing time, which benefits taxpayers including those living internationally.
