The IRS has made it easier to file your taxes. Forms now include electronic signature options, allowing tax professionals to conduct remote transactions.
To allow your tax professional to use the electronic signature option, you must fill out and submit Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. This form constitutes a written authorization appointing tax professionals to represent taxpayers before the IRS, including performing certain acts on the taxpayer’s behalf. These acts may include providing an electronic signature.
