The Tax POA DR 835 form is a legal document that authorizes an individual or entity to handle tax matters on behalf of another person. This power of attorney form is specific to tax-related issues, allowing the designated representative to communicate with tax authorities, access confidential tax information, and make decisions regarding the filing and payment of taxes. It is a crucial tool for individuals seeking assistance with their tax responsibilities from a trusted party.
Navigating the complexities of tax matters can sometimes require enlisting the help of a professional, whether due to the intricacies of tax law or simply for peace of mind. It is in these scenarios that the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form comes into play. Essentially, this document serves as a bridge, granting a trusted individual or entity the authority to manage tax affairs on behalf of someone else. This could range from filing taxes to communicating with tax authorities, depending on the scope of authority granted within the form. The power of such a document lies in its flexibility and the assurance it offers, allowing for tax matters to be handled by someone with the requisite knowledge and expertise. However, the form also demands a degree of caution and precision in its execution to ensure that the rights and responsibilities bestowed are clearly understood and appropriately limited. Understanding the major aspects of the Tax POA DR 835 form is crucial not only for those seeking to delegate their tax-related tasks but also for the professionals whom they entrust with this responsibility.

Purpose of this form

You may use this form for any matters affecting any tax administered by the Department of Revenue. This includes both the audit and collection processes. A Power of Attorney will remain in effect until you revoke it. If you provide more than one Power of Attorney with respect to a tax and tax period, the Department employee handling your case will address notices and correspondence relative to that issue to the frst person listed on the latest Power of Attorney.
A Power of Attorney Form is generally not required, if the representative is, or is accompanied by: a trustee, a receiver, an administrator, an executor of an estate, a corporate offcer, or an authorized employee of the taxpayer.
Photocopies and fax copies of Form DR-835 are usually acceptable. E-mail transmissions or other types of Powers of Attorney are not acceptable. Copies of Form DR-835 are readily available by visiting our Internet site (www.foridarevenue.com/forms).

Note: If you wish to appoint a representative to act on your behalf in a specifc and non-continuing reemployment tax matter, you should complete Section 3 and Section 6 and not Section 4. For example, if you hire a representative to assist you with a single matter, such as a reemployment tax audit or contesting the payment of a claim, and wish that representative to handle just that one matter, you should not complete Section 4 to authorize that representation. Instead, you should fll out Section 3 and specify the exact matter the representative is handling.
Section 5 – Acts Authorized
Your signature on the back of the Power of Attorney authorizes the individual(s) you designate (your representative or “attorney-in-fact”) to perform any act you can perform with respect to your tax matters, except that your representative may not sign certain returns for you nor may your representative negotiate or cash your refund warrant. This authority includes signing consents to a change in tax liability, consents to extend the time for assessing or collecting tax, closing agreements, and compromises. You may authorize your representative to receive, but not negotiate or cash, your refund warrant by checking the box in Section 5 and writing the name of the representative on the line below.

Check the second box if you wish to have notices and other written communications sent to you and not to your representative. 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.

When needing to grant someone the authority to handle your tax matters, the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form becomes necessary. It's crucial to accurately complete this form to ensure the selected individual or entity can act on your behalf effectively and without unnecessary hurdles. The following steps are designed to guide you through filling out the form correctly.
After the DR 835 form is fully completed and all signatures are collected, it should be forwarded to the appropriate tax authority as indicated by the instructions specific to your jurisdiction or tax matter. This submission will officially grant the designated individual or entity the authority to act on your behalf concerning the tax issues outlined in the form. It's essential to keep a copy for your records and to stay in communication with your appointed representative to ensure your tax matters are handled according to your wishes.
What is the Tax POA DR 835 form used for?
The Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form is a legal document that allows an individual to grant authority to another person, known as an agent or attorney-in-fact, to handle tax affairs on their behalf with the tax authority. This can include filing taxes, obtaining confidential information, and making decisions about tax payments and agreements.
Who can be appointed as an agent on the DR 835 form?
Any individual can be appointed as an agent, as long as they are competent and willing to act on behalf of the person granting the power. Often, people choose a trusted family member, friend, or a professional like an accountant or attorney who has expertise in tax matters.
Is there a specific duration for the powers granted under the DR 835 form?
Yes, the duration can be specified within the document. If a duration is not mentioned, the powers remain in effect until they are revoked or until the specified event occurs, such as the completion of the tax matter for which the POA was granted. It’s important to check the details in the form to ensure the duration meets your needs.
Can the powers granted under the DR 835 form be revoked?
Yes, the person who granted the powers can revoke them at any time. The revocation must be in writing, and in many cases, it must be submitted to the same tax authority where the original POA DR 835 form was filed. It’s crucial to notify both the tax authority and the appointed agent about the revocation.
Are there limitations on the actions an agent can take under the DR 835 form?
Yes, the form allows the granter to specify the exact powers granted to the agent. This can range from wide-ranging authority to handle all tax matters to limited authority, such as filing a specific year's tax return. The granter has the flexibility to tailor the powers to fit their specific needs and comfort level.
What happens if the agent abuses their powers?
If an agent misuses their powers, they can be held legally accountable. The tax authority defends and enforces the proper use of the form but doesn’t oversee the day-to-day actions of the agent. If abuse is suspected, it may be necessary to seek legal advice to address the issue and potentially revoke the power of attorney.
Does the DR 835 form need to be notarized?
Requirements can vary by jurisdiction, but typically, the DR 835 form does not need to be notarized. However, it must be properly completed and signed by both the individual granting the power and the appointed agent. It's advisable to check the specific requirements of the tax authority to ensure compliance.
How do I file the DR 835 form with the tax authority?
The completed and signed form should be submitted to the appropriate tax authority. This can usually be done by mail, but some jurisdictions may allow or require electronic submission. It’s important to follow the specific filing instructions provided by the tax authority to ensure the form is correctly processed.
Where can I find the DR 835 form?
The DR 835 form is typically available on the official website of the tax authority that requires it. In addition, tax professionals or attorneys specializing in tax law often have access to these forms and can assist with completing and filing them properly.
When filling out the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form, individuals often overlook important details or make errors that can impact the processing and validity of the document. Being aware of these mistakes can help ensure that the POA is completed accurately and serves its intended purpose effectively. Below are five common mistakes people make:
Not providing complete information for the taxpayer or the representative. Every field should be filled out with accurate data to avoid delays or the rejection of the form.
Forgetting to specify the tax matters and years for which the POA is granted. It's crucial to clearly indicate for which tax years and types of taxes the representative has authority.
Missing signatures and dates. Both the taxpayer and the representative must sign and date the form to validate the POA. An unsigned or undated form is not legally binding.
Lack of clarity about the representative's powers. The form should specify what actions the representative can perform on behalf of the taxpayer, such as receiving confidential information or representing the taxpayer in tax matters.
Not updating the POA when changes occur. If there are any changes in representation or if the POA is revoked, a new form needs to be completed and submitted to reflect current circumstances.
Avoiding these mistakes can help ensure that the POA is processed smoothly and effectively represents the taxpayer's interests. Always review the form thoroughly before submission to make sure all information is complete, accurate, and up-to-date.
When handling tax matters, having a Tax Power of Attorney (POA) form—such as the dr 835 form—allows individuals to grant a trusted person the authority to speak and take action on their behalf with the tax authorities. This form is crucial for ensuring that tax-related tasks are handled efficiently, especially when individuals cannot manage these tasks themselves. However, the dr 835 form is often just one part of a suite of documents needed for comprehensive tax planning and representation. Below is a list of other forms and documents frequently used alongside the dr 835 form for a more robust handling of one's tax affairs.
Together with the dr 835 form, these documents play crucial roles in managing one's taxes comprehensively. They help in reports of earnings, calculation of taxes due or refunds owed, and in ensuring that all tax-related matters are in order, especially when delegated through a power of attorney. For anyone managing their taxes or assisting others with theirs, familiarity with these documents and what they represent in the tax process is key to navigating tax season smoothly.
The Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form is closely related to the IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative. Both documents serve the purpose of granting an individual the authority to represent another person's interests with tax matters. The primary difference is that the DR 835 form is typically used within a specific state, while the IRS Form 2848 is applicable at the federal level. This means that each form targets different tax authorities, but they essentially allow for the same type of representation.
Similarly, the Health Care Proxy form shares a foundational concept with the Tax POA DR 835 form. Through a Health Care Proxy, an individual appoints someone to make medical decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so. Although this form deals with health care decisions rather than tax matters, the core mechanism of empowering another person to act in one's stead is a common thread between these documents.
Another parallel can be drawn with the Durable Power of Attorney for Finances. Like the Tax POA DR 835 form, it grants an agent the authority to handle financial matters on behalf of the principal. The distinction lies in the breadth of power, as the Durable Power of Attorney for Finances typically encompasses a wide range of financial decisions beyond just taxes, offering a more comprehensive authority over the principal's financial affairs.
The Limited Power of Attorney form also shares similarities with the Tax POA DR 835 form but is more specific in scope. It grants an agent the power to act in the principal's stead for specific tasks, which can include tax-related matters but is not limited to them. This document allows the principal to limit the agent's authority to particular actions or events, contrasting with the broader capabilities granted by the Tax POA DR 835.
The General Power of Attorney form offers a contrast in terms of scope when compared to the Tax POA DR 835 form. While the Tax POA focuses specifically on tax matters, a General Power of Attorney grants an agent wide-ranging authority to act on the principal’s behalf in various matters, including financial, legal, and personal affairs. This document provides a broader delegation of power, encompassing more than just tax issues.
The Revocation of Power of Attorney form is essentially the counterpart to any POA form, including the Tax POA DR 835. Its purpose is to officially cancel the authority previously granted to an agent. While not similar in terms of purpose, it is a necessary document for anyone wishing to withdraw the powers conferred by a POA, highlighting the control individuals have over such legal instruments.
The Advance Directive is another document that, while primarily focused on health care decisions rather than tax matters, shares the POA's principle of designating another person to act on one's behalf. It is a directive to physicians and family members about end-of-life care, but like the Tax POA DR 835, it involves appointing someone to represent the principal’s wishes, demonstrating the versatility of POA in various settings.
The Executor of Will form is somewhat analogous to the Tax POA DR 835 form as well. This document appoints an individual to execute a person’s will upon their death, including handling tax obligations related to the estate. Although the context is posthumous and involves broader estate management responsibilities, the appointment of a representative to manage tax affairs is a shared aspect.
Lastly, the Declaration of Guardian in the Event of Later Incapacity or Need of Guardian is a document that appoints someone to make decisions on the principal’s behalf, similar to a POA. This form is used in anticipation of a future inability to make decisions due to incapacitation. Like the Tax POA DR 835, it empowers an individual to act in another's place, ensuring their affairs are managed according to their wishes, albeit in a more general context outside of just tax matters.
Filling out the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form is a crucial step in managing one's financial affairs. This document grants another individual or entity the authority to handle tax matters on your behalf. To ensure that the process is completed correctly without any complications, it's important to follow a set of dos and don'ts.
