Question
Signing order for DocuSign request to a married couple
Hello.
Is there a signing order for a DocuSign document?
Let's say, a DocuSign eSignature request is sent to a married couple. Their return listed Jane Doe as the taxpayer and John Doe as a spouse.
Does Jane has to sign first then John, or does it not matter?
Here is my situation. A married client filing a joint return received a DocuSign request. Somehow, John (spouse) signed first and now Jane (taxpayer) cannot sign. She keeps getting an error message that her info does not match. I checked the form 8879 and it shows John's signature in the spouse (correct) section.
I'd appreciate if you have any insight on this. Thank you!
