Here's one you probably have not hear before. We printed our US tax
return (1040 form) on our Canon S600 ink jet (standard Canon
cartridge), signed it and sent it in. Yesterday we got a letter from
the IRS saying that our tax forms did not show an "original
signature". It was a joint return which means my wife and I both
signed it and we both clearly remember doing so, but the only thing I
can think of is that we used a so-called jel pen. So we were
essentially signing an ink jet document with pen using ink-jet ink, so
how can the IRS tell this not a photocopy printed on an ink jet
printer? Has anyone heard of a problem with signing ink jet printed
documents with liquid-ink pens? We will probably just do what the IRS
says and be done with it but I would like some verification that we
are not both simultaneously loosing our minds!
