Everything You Need to Know About IRS Form 2848

What is Form 2848?
The IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, is used when a taxpayer wishes to authorize someone else to represent them before the IRS. It allows your chosen representative to speak to the IRS, access your confidential tax records, and take action within the scope you approve.

Who can serve as your representative?

Attorneys, Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), and Enrolled Agents.
Immediate family members (spouse, parents, child, or sibling).
Tax return preparers with specific IRS credentials.
Other eligible individuals recognized by the IRS under Treasury rules.

Why file Form 2848?

To allow your tax professional to handle an IRS audit on your behalf.
To grant your attorney access to confidential IRS notices or transcripts.
To streamline communication with the IRS if you are unavailable or incapacitated.
To avoid handling complex tax disputes on your own.

Key powers granted
By default, representatives can:

Inspect and receive confidential IRS tax information.
Represent you during audits or appeals.
Negotiate payment plans, penalties, or interest (if authorized).
Sign certain tax agreements or waivers (within the limits specified).

Limits of Form 2848

Representatives cannot sign your actual tax return, unless you qualify for an exception (such as being outside the U.S. for an extended time).
Powers granted apply only to the tax matters, years, or forms listed on Form 2848.
If you want to revoke or change your representative, you must file a new Form 2848 or Form 56.

Processing and validity

Once filed, the IRS processes Form 2848 into its CAF database.
A valid 2848 remains in effect until revoked or replaced.
You can list multiple representatives, but only one can act as the “lead.”
