An Iowa tax power of attorney form, or “Form IA 2848,” is a legal document that authorizes a designated representative to act on your behalf in matters related to your Iowa taxes. This representative can receive confidential tax information from the Iowa Department of Revenue, perform specific tasks as outlined in the form, and potentially represent you in certain proceedings.
You can appoint up to two representatives who are authorized to receive confidential tax information, sign documents, and represent you in proceedings before the Iowa Department of Revenue. It is important to mention on the form which tax type(s) and corresponding tax year(s) or periods your representatives are authorized to manage.
To avoid mistakes and discrepancies that can lead to penalties, appointing a professional accountant as your representative is recommended.
If you wish to cancel the power of attorney, you can file a statement of revocation, or your representative can withdraw by submitting their statement to the Iowa Department of Revenue.
