I am the Successor Trustee ready to sign the form, but it says "Signature of Fiduciary or officer representing fiduciary" Can I as Trustee sign this form?

If you're the trustee, you are the fiduciary.

    Hello,

    I have a follow-up question to this.  I understand that am to sign part II as Fiduciary (trustee) but do I also need to sign Part III as the ERO? (I am the preparer, electronic submitter, and trustee).   

     

    And if I do sign ERO, do I check the self-employed box or just leave it blank?  I am not self-employed, I'm just doing my own taxes.

     

    Thanks!

    No, leave that blank.
