Not the IRS (whatever that is), was a bank, and they absolutely reacted positively to it being in colour as an original.

An original what?

Thing is, I also own a color scanner. It’s just as easy for me to make a color copy of a doc as a B/W copy. That’s pretty common now. If your bank thinks that a form with red lines on it must be an original, then they suck at technology more than most banks.

An original tax return form.

Be that as it may, I don't have a banking license and wasn't about to turn my nose up at a bank that finally let me open a corporate account after about 4 months of effort.

Lots of banks still require signatures in blue ink.
SMH. I use blue ink because I like it, but the idea of that being a validator amuses me.
