In certain instances, the Department can only send documents to the taxpayer. Therefore, the taxpayer has the responsibility of keeping the representative informed of tax matters.

Note: Taxpayers completing Section 4 (To Appoint a Reemployment Tax Agent Only) should not complete Section 6. See Section 4 of these instructions for information regarding notices and communications sent to a reemployment tax agent.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) Form DR 835 can be a straightforward process, but many individuals make mistakes that can lead to delays or complications. One common error is failing to provide accurate personal information. When entering your name, address, and taxpayer identification number, it is crucial to double-check for any typos or inaccuracies. Even a small mistake can result in the form being rejected or processed incorrectly.

Another frequent mistake involves not signing the form. It may seem obvious, but many people forget to provide their signature or the signature of the designated representative. Without a signature, the IRS will not recognize the authorization, leaving your tax matters unresolved. Always ensure that the form is signed in the appropriate sections before submission.

Some individuals neglect to specify the exact powers they wish to grant to their representative. The Tax POA DR 835 allows you to choose the extent of authority you wish to delegate. Failing to clearly indicate these powers can lead to confusion or limit the representative's ability to act on your behalf effectively. Take the time to review this section carefully.

Additionally, people often overlook the importance of including the correct date. The form should reflect the date it is being signed. This detail is essential for establishing the timeline of the authorization. If the date is missing or incorrect, it may create complications in the processing of your request.

Another mistake that can occur is not providing a valid phone number for the representative. This contact information is vital for the IRS to reach your representative if they need clarification or additional information. Without a valid phone number, communication may be hindered, leading to unnecessary delays.

Finally, many individuals fail to keep a copy of the completed form for their records. Retaining a copy is essential for your own reference and to track the authorization status. If any issues arise, having a copy can help clarify the situation and provide proof of the authorization granted. Always make sure to keep a record of any important documents you submit.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Tax POA DR 835 form, it's important to be careful and thorough. Here’s a list of things you should and shouldn't do:

Do: Read the instructions carefully before starting.
Do: Provide accurate personal information, including your name and Social Security number.
Do: Clearly state the type of tax matters you are authorizing.
Do: Sign and date the form to validate it.
Do: Keep a copy of the completed form for your records.

Don't: Leave any required fields blank.
Don't: Use incorrect or outdated forms.
Don't: Forget to check for any additional state requirements.
Don't: Submit the form without reviewing it for errors.
