Requests for corporations must be signed by an officer and include the officer's title.
Note: The signing of this request allows the IRS by law to suspend any applicable statutory periods of limitation relating to the
assessment or collection of taxes. However, it does not suspend any applicable periods for you to perform acts related to assessment
or collection, such as petitioning the Tax Court for redetermination of a deficiency or requesting a Collection Due Process hearing.
Instructions for Section II
Taxpayers: If you wish to have a representative act on your behalf, you must give him/her power of attorney or tax information
authorization for the tax return(s) and period(s) involved. For additional information see Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration
of Representative, or Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, and the accompanying instructions. Information can also be found in
Publication 1546, Taxpayer Advocate Service-Your Voice at the IRS.
Representatives: If you are an authorized representative submitting this request on behalf of the taxpayer identified in Section I,
complete Blocks 1 through 7 of Section II. Attach a copy of Form 2848, Form 8821, or other power of attorney. Enter your Centralized
Authorization File (CAF) number in Block 2 of Section II. The CAF number is the unique number that the IRS assigns to a
representative after Form 2848 or Form 8821 is filed with an IRS office.
Note: Form 8821 does not authorize your appointee to advocate your position with respect to the Federal tax laws; to execute waivers,
consents, or closing agreements; or to otherwise represent you before the IRS. Form 8821 does authorize anyone you designate to
