Common Questions About our Tax Delivery System

Q: Is it safe to enter part of my Social Security Number?

A: Yes. SafeSend Returns offers a secure system to view and sign your e-file authorization form(s). Look for https:// at the beginning of the site URL and a locked padlock symbol in your browser’s URL bar to confirm you are on the secure site.

Q: What if I don’t receive an email with my access code?

A: Check your spam/junk email folder. You can also search your email for noreply@safesendreturns.com.      Some email clients hide items they’ve labeled spam or junk, making certain emails difficult to find. If you do not receive your code within the 10-minute time limit, please request another code.

Q: Will this work on any internet-connected device? Does SafeSend Returns offer an app for my smartphone?

A: There is currently no SafeSend Returns app available, but the signature process can be completed on any computer, smartphone or tablet via a web browser.

Q: I’d rather print and sign my e-file authorization form(s). Can I do that?

A: Yes - You can still print, sign and mail your e-file form(s) back to DDK if you’d prefer to do so.

Q: Will I have to print and mail anything to the government?

A: The only items you may need to print and mail out to government authorities is the tax and estimate payment vouchers. If forms need to be printed and mailed, you will receive clear instructions. You will also be provided options to make tax payments electronically if you prefer not to mail payments.

Q: My Spouse and I are filing our return jointly – How can we both sign the e-file authorization form(s)?

A: There are a couple of options:

If both spouses have an email address on file, both will receive an email with a link to view the return and sign the e-file authorization form(s). First, one spouse will receive the link with identity verification questions specific to him/her. He or she will sign the e-file authorization form(s), and an email link will be sent to the second spouse. The second spouse will answer identity verification questions specific to him/her, then sign the form(s).

If only one spouse has an email address on file, that spouse will first receive the link with identity verification questions specific to him/her. He or she will sign the e-file authorization form(s) and then enter an email address for the second spouse. The second spouse will then receive the email link with identity verification questions specific to him/her. Once the second spouse electronically signs the e-file authorization form(s), DDK will be notified that signing is complete.

If a couple shares an email address, the primary signer will first receive a link with identity verification questions specific to him/her. After the primary signer signs the e-file authorization form(s), he/she can then enter the shared email address again. A new link will be sent with identity verification questions specific to the second spouse.

Q: Where do the identity verification questions come from? What if I don’t remember the answers?

A: The questions SafeSend Returns asks are knowledge-based questions pulled from government and credit sources. You may be asked questions such as where you lived in a given year, or when you bought your car or home. In the event the questions do not apply to you, simply choose the answer that accurately reflects this. If you don’t remember the answers to the questions, or you answer incorrectly, you won't be able to electronically sign your e-file authorization form(s). You can instead print, sign and return your e-file authorization form(s) to DDK.

Q: How is this process different from e-filing?

A: SafeSend Returns allows you to electronically sign your e-file authorization form(s), but it won't submit your return to the IRS. Once signed, DDK is automatically notified, and we will then complete the filing process for you, including submission to the IRS.

Q: Can I sign my dependent's individual return electronically?

A: DDK will deliver your dependent’s return using SafeSend Returns. However, some dependents may not have sufficient government and financial data available to successfully complete the electronic signature process. If there is not enough data available, your dependent will be given the option to download and sign their forms.

Q: Can I set up reminders for my quarterly estimated payment?

A: If estimated payments are included in your review copy, you will automatically receive an email reminder seven days before your payment is due.

Q: Will I receive a notification when my individual return is ready to sign?

A: Yes. Email notifications will be sent from DDK at noreply@safesendreturns.com. We recommend adding this email address to your safe list to prevent the email from getting filtered to spam/junk.

Q: After signing my individual e-file authorization form(s), will I receive confirmation that it was successfully submitted?

A: Yes, once you sign your e-file authorization form(s), you will receive an email stating it was successful. The email will also include a link to download a copy of your tax return for your records.

DDK Kings and the “Just for Fun Game that Turned Out to be More”

It was one of the hottest days in 2015 and even the Ump was questioning why the game was not called. Despite the temperature, the Kings and Return Path met for the last game of the season. There was no race for the playoffs. It was all meant to be in good fun.

So, sit down, don’t drink any hot liquids and enjoy the moments de shock as I recount the event of “DDK Kings and the Just for Fun Game that Turned Out to be More.”

Right away, the Kings started the game off with Raj hitting a single, followed by Evan’s double and Matt’s single, bringing Raj and Evan home and giving the King’s a 2-0 lead going into the bottom of the 1st.

The lead continued into the top of the 2nd inning, when Haren hit a single! Your featured writer hit a single! And then Raj hit a homerun(!!) sending all three of us home, giving the Kings a 5-0 lead.

Once again, the Kings held the lead into the top of the 3rd inning. Matt, Mike Blum, Albert and Evan each had runs scored, bringing the lead to 9-0. And another 3 in the top of the 4th from Raj, Evan and Matt, to give the Kings a 12-0 lead. The Kings could taste the mercy win.

But Return Path rallied  in the bottom on the 4th inning, getting 2 runs, and then another run in the bottom of the 5th. The teams were playing a full game.

In the top of the 6th, Raj, Ed (finally), Evan and Blum each added a run to bring the lead up to 16-3. But Return Path wasn’t backing down, adding 4 more runs in the bottom of the 6th.

With the score 16-7, the Kings went into the bottom of the 7th tasting victory, but knowing Return Path still had some juice left to their fight. In a surprise move, Evan took the bench and Haren stepped in to play 3rd base. Return Path took the plate. Hit after hit right down the line to Haren, and each time, Haren caught the ball (!!), ending the game with a win (!!) and a final score of 16-9.

SHOUTOUTS

– The team of Fernando and Albert, who made some amazing plays to tag out Return Path at 1st Base

– Fernando for pitching a terrific game

– Matt in Center Field, with some awesome catches (that Return Path was not happy about)

– Raj & Evan with 4 runs each

– RBIs: Matt (3); Raj (3); Evan (2); Fernando (1); Mike Blum (2); Albert (3); Haren (1) (!!)

– To all the players who showed up last night, even though the game really didn’t mean anything for the playoffs

– To the entire team who spent the last 13 weeks giving up their own time, a lot of energy, and risking a lot of injuries

– To our cheerleaders who showed support at our games (especially Olivia Cipollone!)

– To our fans, who might not have made it to our games, but always asked how we did, how we were feeling afterwards, and wished us luck before the games

Fans, till next season….
