Frequently asked questions

Why does certified proof matter when faxing the IRS?

The IRS calculates deadlines — CP2000 response windows, audit reply dates, and installment agreement timelines — from the date they receive your documents, not the date you sent them. A SHA-256 certified receipt creates a tamper-evident record of the exact delivery date, protecting you if the IRS claims they never received your response.

Where do I find the IRS fax number for my form?

IRS fax numbers vary by form type, service center, and the specific notice you received. For CP notices (CP2000, CP2501, etc.), use the fax number printed directly on the notice. For Form 2848 (Power of Attorney), use the fax number for your state's CAF unit listed at irs.gov. For Form 4506-T, check irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-4506-t for current numbers.

What is a SHA-256 certified receipt?

When your fax is delivered, FaxSeal generates a receipt containing the SHA-256 cryptographic hash of your exact document, the IRS fax number dialed, and the confirmed delivery timestamp. The hash permanently ties the receipt to that specific file — verifiable by anyone at faxseal.com/verify.

Can I sign IRS forms and fax them in one step?

Yes. Use the Sign & Fax tool — draw your signature, place it on the form, and fax directly from the same screen. No printing, no scanning, no fax machine.

What if the fax fails to deliver?

You are never charged for an undelivered fax. Your card authorization is released immediately. If the deadline is close, retry immediately or contact the IRS directly to confirm an alternative submission method.

Can a CPA or tax preparer use this for clients?

Yes. FaxSeal credits never expire — buy a bundle for your firm and use them across all clients. Each fax gets its own certified receipt with a unique verify URL, giving you per-client proof of timely IRS submission.
