2848 Form
Form 2848—Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative is the IRS form where individuals can authorize someone else to represent them before the IRS. This tax form is mostly used for giving authorization to attorneys but can be filled out to give authorization to anyone.
Since the purpose of Form 2848 is very simple, the form itself is only a two-page. So, nobody should have a hard time filing Form 2848.
This tax form can also be used for authorizing a student who works in a qualifying Student Tax Clinic Program or Low Income Taxpayer Clinic. As long as Form 2848 is filled out correctly, the student can represent a taxpayer under a special appearance authorization. This is issued by the Taxpayer Advocate Service.
