| Does anyone know the form number that the client needs to sign so that I can speak to the IRS on a specific return (1040) for a specific year? | |
| 12 February 2008 | |
| To just get information about a third party, you will need a Tax Information Authorization, Form 8821 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8821.pdf
To represent a taxpayer, you will need a Power of Attorney, Form 2848 http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2848.pdf | |
| 12 February 2008 | |
| Come on, how tough is it to find that out on your own? Go to IRS.gov. Type "power of attorney" in search box. It will take less time than you spent asking the question here. | |

| I didn't want the power of attorney form or I would have searched for it. It is the other form. Also, I did perform a search and nothing came up with search terms I provided. Thanks for your help. | |

| But you can't speak to IRS with an 8821, you can only be in the pipeline to receive documents. | |
