Best practices for completing the report

Accurate source records and controlled approvals make the 2021 purchase report easier to review, sign, and retain.

Reconcile every purchase detail before sending

Confirm that the purchase amount, vendor identity, transaction date, taxable status, and tax calculation agree with the supporting invoice and purchase order before sending the report for signature.

Standardize the report without copying amounts

Use a reusable signNow template containing the report’s known fields, while requiring the preparer to verify each transaction-specific amount and explanation against source records.

Route the report to an authorized signer

Assign signing responsibility to an authorized purchaser, controller, or tax administrator and document any delegated approval path within the organization’s policy.

Preserve the signed report with evidence

Download the completed report and audit trail together, then store them with invoices, purchase orders, and tax workpapers under the applicable retention policy.

Privacy and disclosure pitfalls

  • Entering a purchase total without matching invoices can make the reported $25,000 threshold difficult to substantiate during review.
  • Leaving the tax calculation or exemption explanation incomplete can create uncertainty about the treatment of the reported purchase.
  • Sending the report to an unapproved signer weakens evidence that the organization authorized the purchase and tax treatment.
  • Storing the signed report without its audit trail can separate the signature from the evidence needed to explain completion.

Troubleshooting the 2021 purchase report

Use these answers to resolve field, routing, retention, authentication, and tax-record questions without confusing signNow’s workflow with the underlying tax requirements.

Upload the Form It 135 report as a PDF, allow signNow to detect fillable fields, then compare each detected field with the source before sending. Detection identifies placement; it does not validate the purchase amount, tax calculation, or 2021 form version.

The Business plan includes templates, audit trails, mobile apps, and legally binding eSignatures at $8/user/month when billed annually. If the workflow requires bulk send, Business Premium is the plan identified as adding that capability.

Use signNow’s audit trail to preserve signer actions and timestamps, then retain the final report with invoices and purchase orders. The federal tax period comes from IRC §6501(a), not from signNow, and state requirements may be longer.

For a consumer-facing transaction, confirm electronic-record consent and access requirements under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001(c). For business records, signNow’s ESIGN and UETA compliance supports the electronic signing workflow, but it does not determine the applicable tax treatment.

If the wrong person receives the report, cancel or correct the routing before completion and resend it to the authorized signer. Use authentication controls such as SMS OTP when the organization requires stronger signer attribution.

signNow provides the signing workflow and audit evidence, but the report’s purchase details remain the preparer’s responsibility. Reconcile the $25,000 threshold, vendor information, tax calculation, and supporting invoice before requesting the signature.
