What Power of Attorney Covers in an IRS Case

Why You Should Not Represent Yourself Before the IRS

The IRS employs thousands of revenue officers, revenue agents, and attorneys whose full-time job is to assess, collect, and enforce tax obligations. When an unrepresented taxpayer speaks directly with the IRS, they often provide information that expands the scope of an audit, reveals additional tax years for examination, or creates admissions that complicate resolution. A qualified tax representative knows what to say, what not to say, and how to structure the conversation to produce the best outcome.

Representation also eliminates the emotional stress of IRS contact. Many of our clients describe the relief of knowing that every IRS notice goes to us instead of them as one of the most valuable aspects of the engagement.

Common Questions About Form 2848 and Authorized Representation

What does a Power of Attorney with the IRS actually do?

IRS Form 2848 authorizes your representative to receive IRS correspondence, speak with IRS employees on your behalf, and take action on all matters covered by the form. Once on file, the IRS routes contact to your representative. You stop receiving IRS notices directly.

Does tax representation guarantee a better outcome?

While no outcome can be guaranteed, represented taxpayers consistently achieve better results than unrepresented taxpayers in audits, collections, and appeals. Representation controls the flow of information, ensures procedural rights are preserved, and brings professional negotiating experience to every IRS interaction.

When should I get tax representation?

The moment you receive a notice you do not fully understand, are contacted by a revenue officer, receive an audit notification, or believe you may owe taxes you cannot pay. Earlier engagement preserves more options. Waiting until enforcement actions are underway reduces the available resolution pathways.

Can you represent me in a state tax matter as well?

Yes. Clean Slate Tax handles representation before the IRS and before state tax agencies including the New Jersey Division of Taxation. We file the appropriate authorization forms for each jurisdiction and coordinate resolution across both levels simultaneously.
