Who must file Form 8948?

Any paid tax preparer who is required to e‑file but cannot do so for an approved reason must attach Form 8948 to the paper return.

Can I use Form 8948 for a personal return I file myself?

No. Form 8948 is only for paid preparers. Individual taxpayers who choose to file on paper do not need this form.

What is the difference between the "taxpayer chose paper" box and the "hardship waiver" box?

The taxpayer‑chosen box indicates the client elected a paper return, which is not a valid reason under IRS rules. The hardship waiver box is used when the preparer has an approved waiver from the IRS.

Do I need to mail Form 8948 separately?

No. Form 8948 must be attached to the front of the paper return before mailing it to the IRS.

Is an electronic signature accepted on Form 8948?

Yes. The IRS allows an electronic signature when the form is completed using a certified e‑signature solution like Formize.

Where can I find the official PDF for Form 8948?

The official, up‑to‑date PDF is available from the IRS at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8948.pdf.

What should I do if I select the wrong reason on Form 8948?

Correct the mistake before attaching the form. An incorrect reason can cause the entire return to be rejected by the IRS.

IRS Form 8948 – Preparer Explanation for Not Filing Electronically (Fillable PDF)

Form 8948, officially titled Preparer Explanation for Not Filing Electronically, is a one‑page IRS form that tax preparers must attach to a paper‑filed return when the electronic filing requirement cannot be met. The form provides a brief, standardized explanation for the paper‑filing exception.

What Is Form 8948?

The form captures basic taxpayer information, the preparer’s PTIN, and the specific reason why the return is being filed on paper instead of through the IRS e‑file system. It is required for most paid preparers who are otherwise obligated to e‑file.

When and Why Is Form 8948 Required?

The preparer received an approved e‑file hardship waiver.
The taxpayer elected to file a paper return.
The preparer’s software does not support a required schedule or form.
The preparer faced repeated, unresolvable e‑file rejections.
Religious or other qualifying exemptions prevent electronic filing.

If none of these exceptions apply, the preparer must file the return electronically.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Leaving the reason box unchecked: The IRS will reject the return.
Using the taxpayer’s choice box incorrectly: Form 8948 is not a "taxpayer choice" statement.

Incorrect tax year: Verify the year matches the return you are filing.
