Implementation
• IRS regulations require consent to be obtained for electronic delivery
• “If you are required to furnish a written statement … to a recipient, then you may furnish the statement electronically instead of on paper… The recipient must consent in the affirmative and not have withdrawn the consent before the statement is furnished. The consent by the recipient must be made electronically in a way that shows that he or she can access the statement in the electronic format in which it will be furnished.”– Reference: 2013 General Instructions for Certain Information Returns, Part M.
