DocuSign e-signature for 8879-F (for 1041's)

Is e-signature allowed for 8879-F? The IRM says it is allowed for "8879 series," but also says that a wet signature us required on the 1041. This seems contradictory. Is e-sig only allowed on the 8879 authorization to e-file, but not on a paper-filed 1041?

Thanks, Karl, but I know *how* to get an eSignature.

I'm trying to figure out if a DocuSign eSig is *allowed* by the IRS on an 8879-F

Ah, I see now. Yes. Per https://www.irs.gov/irm/part10/irm_10-010-001, the whole 8879 series has an exception from the handwritten signature requirement.
