Part II Declaration of Taxpayer and Signature Authorization

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined a copy of my individual income tax return and accompanying schedules and statements for the year ending December 31, 2011, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete. I further declare that the information I provided to my Electronic Return Originator (ERO), Transmitter, or Intermediate Service Provider (including my name, address and social security number or individual tax identification number) and the amount shown in Part I above agree with the information and amounts shown on the corresponding lines of my electronic income tax return. If I am filing a balance due return, I understand that if the Virginia Department of Taxation does not receive full and timely payment of my tax liability, I remain liable for the tax liability and all applicable interest and penalties. I authorize my ERO, Transmitter or Intermediate Service Provider to transmit my complete return to the Virginia Department of Taxation.

Taxpayer Responsibilities

Taxpayers have the following responsibilities:

1.Verify the accuracy of the prepared income tax return, including direct deposit information.

2.Check the appropriate box in Part II to authorize the ERO to enter or generate his or her PIN or choose to do it in person.

3.Indicate or verify his or her PIN when authorizing the ERO to enter or generate it (the PIN must be five numbers other than all zeros).

4.Sign and date Form VA-8879.

5.Return the completed Form VA-8879 to the ERO by hand delivery, U.S. mail, private delivery service or fax.

6.New federal banking regulations have imposed additional reporting requirements on all electronic banking transactions that directly involve a financial institution outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States at any point in the process. These are called International ACH Transactions (IAT) and include both electronic debit (tax payments) and credit (direct deposit of refunds) transactions. At present, The Virginia Department of Taxation (TAX) does not support IAT. Taxpayers who instruct TAX to process electronic banking transactions on their behalf are certifying that the transactions do not directly involve a financial institution outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States at any point in the process. If transactions are IAT, the taxpayer should request refunds to be issued by paper check or pay tax dues by paper check attached to Form 760-PMT or by credit card.

Note. The return or request will not be transmitted to the Virginia Department of Taxation until the ERO receives the signed Form VA-8879. Do not send this form to the Virginia Department of Taxation.
