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 SJHL.

Acquiring these questions does not affect your credit score in anyway (it is not a soft-hit).

This process can be completed on any computer, smart phone or tablet via a web browser. There is currently no SafeSend Returns app available.

He or she will sign the e-file authorization form(s) and then enter an email address for the second spouse.

Once the second spouse electronically signs the e-file authorization form(s), SJHL will be notified that signing is complete.

SJHL will deliver your dependent’s return using SafeSend Returns. However, most dependents may not have sufficient government and financial data available to successfully complete the electronic signature process. Therefore, SJHL will generally deliver those returns in a manner set up for manual signature. The intended forms will require you to return it through SafeSend Returns, via email or fax (620-241-6926) to SJHL.
