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 vs. Outbrainers Recc-ing Balls

It’s been a long short season thus far for the DDK Kings…. so I hope you’re sitting down….the DDK Kings have a win! A real one one the books! #canttakethisoneawayfromus

But….as with all DDK Kings games, it wasn’t easy.

As the Kings and Recc-ing Balls warmed up, both teams sensed there was something missing….the Ump. After waiting 20+ minutes, and the league calling to say they weren’t able to locate him, the teams decided to forge forward and begin the game. Two innings in, the score was tied 0-0, when the Ump showed up and the game continued on (officially).

The DDK Kings started swinging fast, with base hits from Albert Parisi & Raj Katyal. John Cipollone drove in Fernando Romano, who was pinch running for Al, with a double, followed by Joe D’Auria’s base hit, driving Raj in. But the Recc-ing Balls responded fast, tying it up on the top of the 4th. Then, the magic began, with 3 runs scored in the bottom of the 6th. John hit a single, Joe D’Auria hit a single. Evan Simmons hit a single, driving John home. Mike Blum, with a twitchy elbow, hit a single driving both Joe and Evan to home and to once again take the lead 5-2.

The Recc-ing Balls came in with 3 more runs, tying it up 5-5. Tension was high and nails were bitten as DDK Kings got up to bat in the bottom of the 7th. Haren Gosar stepped up to the plate and hit a single and Raj jumped in as a pinch runner. Jenifer Rosenthal (yes, you are reading this correctly) made a sacrifice hit, sending Raj to 2nd base. Sensing the need for a win here, Al stepped up to bat and smacked a WALK OFF SINGLE into right field, and with happy feet, Raj ran home with the winning run.

Huge shoutout to our golden-gloved outfielders, Joe D’Auria, John Cipollone and Evan Simmons for their amazing catching skills throughout the game!

The Kings defeated the Recc-ing Balls 6-5. It was a great game and a great first win! Great job Team!!

On the DL:

– Ed Kotlyanskiy- pulled hamstring from 2 weeks ago

– Mike Blum- twitchy elbow

– Haren Gosar- not really sure, but kept muttering, “I’m injured, I’m injured”

– Mike Rubin- pinched nerve or Rangers game

Fans, the DDK Kings play Modells next Tuesday, May 26th at 6pm on Randells Island. Modells is currently 4-0 in the Division and rumors from the other teams are they were wiped out by them. Fan support could help! Loud, distracting cheering could help even more!
