Frequently asked questions
Who can be my representative on Form 2848?
Eligible representatives include attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents, and certain other qualifying individuals — the form's instructions list all eligible categories.
How is this different from Form 8821?
Form 2848 grants power of attorney to act on your behalf (like signing agreements); Form 8821 only authorizes someone to receive your tax information without granting representation authority.
Can I limit what my representative can do?
