Platform requirements for signing

Use signNow through Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows or macOS. The signNow mobile apps support iOS and Android, allowing an authorized signer to review Form Vm 2 Virginia Vending Machine Dealers Sales Tax Return away from a desktop.

  • Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktops
  • Mobile apps iOS and Android signNow apps

Organizations handling dealer returns should manage access through approved accounts, controlled templates, and documented permissions. Enterprise deployments can evaluate API access, SSO provisioning, and retention controls against internal policy, while the filing authority remains Virginia Tax rather than signNow.

Record-keeping practices for this return

Retain Form Vm 2 records with supporting calculations, submission evidence, and the signNow audit trail under the applicable Virginia and federal requirements.

Apply the correct retention period

Keep the submitted return, supporting sales records, and signNow audit trail together. Federal tax-record guidance under IRC §6501(a) generally uses three years from filing, but Virginia or industry rules may require longer retention.

Export the completed evidence

Export the completed PDF and audit trail after the authorized signer finishes. Confirm that the exported files open correctly and remain associated with the exact Form Vm 2 Virginia Vending Machine Dealers Sales Tax Return.

Separate dealer records securely

Restrict access to the dealer return and its sales data using role-based permissions. Review shared templates before reuse so prior dealer figures, signer names, and account information cannot carry into a new filing.

Lock the approved version

Reconcile the final return against accounting records before submission. Preserve the approved version rather than replacing it with an edited PDF, because later changes can weaken the record’s evidentiary continuity.

Pricing and plan features

For this return, signNow provides a verified annual Business price; competitor prices and capabilities are not verified in the supplied vendor data.

Troubleshooting the signed return

Resolve field, signer, security, plan, and filing-method questions before submitting Form Vm 2 Virginia Vending Machine Dealers Sales Tax Return.

Upload the original Form Vm 2 PDF again and review detected fields before sending. signNow supports reusable templates, which can preserve a reviewed field layout for recurring dealer returns without changing the underlying tax data.

Verify that the signer is the authorized dealer representative or preparer. signNow records signer actions and timestamps in the audit trail, while ESIGN and UETA require intent, attribution, consent, and reproducible records for electronic transactions.

The Business plan is listed at $8/user/month when billed annually and includes audit trails. Business Premium is $15/user/month annually and adds bulk send; use it only when recurring dealer returns require that feature.

SignNow encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2/1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Apply your organization’s retention policy to the completed return and audit trail, and verify Virginia requirements separately.

If a signer cannot open the request, resend the signNow invitation or provide a controlled signing link after confirming the email address. Check browser access and ensure the signer receives the current document version.

A signNow audit trail supports the electronic record, but it does not determine whether Virginia Tax accepts a particular filing method or deadline. Confirm submission instructions with the current Virginia Tax source before transmitting the return.
