 the information on its 2022 New York City electronically filed corporation tax return, including any accompanying schedules, attachments, and statements or

 plete. The ERO has my consent to send the 2022 New York City electronically filed corporation tax return or other report checked above to New York City De-
 partment of Finance through the Internal Revenue Service. I authorize the ERO to enter my PIN as my signature on the 2022 New York City electronically filed

 port. If I am paying the New York City corporation tax owed by electronic funds withdrawal, I authorize the New York City Department of Finance and its des-
 ignated financial agents to initiate an electronic funds withdrawal from the financial institution account indicated on the corporation’s 2022 New York City 
 electronically filed corporation tax return or other report, and I authorize the financial institution to debit the amount from that account.

PURPOSE - A completed Form NYC-579-GCT provides documentation that an ERO has been authorized to electronically file the General Corporation Tax return or 
other report. The officer of the corporation who is authorized to sign the corporationʼs returns may designate the ERO to electronically sign the return or other report by 
entering the officerʼs personal identification number (PIN). The form also authorizes payment of tax due on an electronically submitted return or report by an automatic 
clearing house (ACH) debit from a designated checking or savings account of the corporation. You cannot revoke this authorization. 
 
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - Part A must be completed by an officer of the corporation who is authorized to sign the corporation’s return or report before the ERO 
transmits the electronically filed Form NYC-3A (Combined General Corporation Tax Return); NYC-3L (General Corporation Tax Return); NYC-4S (General Corporation 
Tax Return - short form); NYC-4SEZ (General Corporation Tax Return  - EZ form); NYC-EXT (Application for 6-month Extension to File Business Income Tax Return); 
NYC-EXT.1 (Application for Additional Extension) or NYC-400 (Declaration of Estimated Tax by General Corporations). 
EROs/paid preparers must complete Part B prior to transmitting electronically filed corporation tax returns or reports (Forms NYC-3A, NYC-3L, NYC-4S, NYC-4SEZ, 
NYC-EXT, NYC-EXT.1 or NYC-400).  Both the paid preparer and the ERO are required to sign Part B.  However, if an individual performs as both the paid preparer 
and the ERO, he or she is only required to sign as the paid preparer.  It is not necessary to include the ERO signature in this case. 
Do not mail Form NYC-579-GCT to the Department of Finance. The EROs/paid preparers must keep the completed Form NYC-579-GCT for three years from 
the due date of the return or report or the date the return or report was filed, whichever is later, and must present it to the Department of Finance upon request.
                                                                                                                                               NYC-579-GCT   2022
