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).

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.

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.

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.

Following these steps helps ensure that your tax matters are handled by your trusted representative without delay or legal complications.
What is a Tax POA DR 835 form?
The Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form is a legal document that allows individuals to grant authority to another person, known as an agent or attorney-in-fact, to handle tax matters on their behalf with the tax authorities. This can include filing taxes, obtaining confidential tax information, and making decisions about tax payments and disputes.
Who needs to file a Tax POA DR 835 form?
Individuals or entities that wish to authorize someone else to manage their tax affairs need to file a Tax POA DR 835 form. This is often used when the taxpayer cannot handle their tax matters personally due to absence, illness, or lack of expertise.
Can I revoke a Tax POA DR 835 after it's been filed?
Yes, a Tax POA DR 835 can be revoked at any time by the person who granted the power. To do so, the taxpayer must provide written notice to the tax authority informing them of the revocation. Additionally, filing a new Tax POA DR 835 form automatically revokes any prior ones unless stated otherwise.
How long is the Tax POA DR 835 valid?
Unless a specific expiration date is mentioned in the form, the Tax POA DR 835 remains valid indefinitely. However, it's crucial to check any state-specific regulations that may dictate the validity period of such forms.
What information is needed to complete the Tax POA DR 835 form?
To complete the Tax POA DR 835 form, the following information is required: the taxpayer's full name and identification number (SSN or EIN), the agent's full name and contact information, specifics of the tax matters the agent is authorized to handle, and the taxpayer's signature with date. It may also require notarization, depending on state laws.
Can multiple agents be appointed on a single Tax POA DR 835 form?
Yes, the Tax POA DR 835 form allows the appointment of multiple agents. However, the form should clearly specify whether these agents can act independently or must make decisions together.
Do I need a lawyer to file a Tax POA DR 835 form?
While it's not required to have a lawyer to file a Tax POA DR 835 form, consulting with a legal professional can provide valuable insights, especially for complex tax situations or when designating powers for business matters. A lawyer can ensure that the form accurately reflects your wishes and complies with state laws.
How do I submit the Tax POA DR 835 form?
The submission process varies by state. Generally, the completed Tax POA DR 835 form can be mailed or faxed to the designated address or number provided by the state tax authority. Some states might also offer electronic submission through their tax department website.
Is there a fee to file a Tax POA DR 835 form?
Typically, there is no fee required to file a Tax POA DR 835 form with state tax authorities. However, if you hire a lawyer or a tax professional to help fill out or file the form on your behalf, they may charge a fee for their services.
Filling out the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form can often be confusing and lead to several common mistakes. One key error is not providing complete information for all required fields. This form requires detailed information about the taxpayer and the representative(s). Leaving sections blank or incomplete can lead to processing delays or the form being rejected altogether.
Another frequent misstep is failing to specify the tax matters and years for which the representative is authorized. The DR 835 form requires the taxpayer to list the specific tax types and years they are granting authority for. This specificity is crucial; a vague or incorrect listing can limit the representative's ability to act effectively on the taxpayer's behalf.
Incorrectly identifying the representative is a mistake that can have significant consequences. It is essential to use the representative’s legal name and include any identifying numbers (such as an ID or license number) the form asks for. Misidentification can invalidate the POA, hindering the representative’s ability to perform their duties.
Many people overlook the necessity of signing and dating the form. An unsigned or undated form is not valid. The taxpayer’s signature gives the form its legal standing, and dating it helps to establish the timeline of authorization.
Not using the most current form version is a mistake that's easy to make but can lead to immediate rejection. Tax regulations and forms can change. It's important to verify that the DR 835 form being filled out is the latest version required by the tax authority.
People sometimes misunderstand the requirement for witness or notary signatures. Depending on the jurisdiction, the DR 835 form may need to be signed in the presence of a witness or notarized to be considered valid. Failure to comply with these requirements can make the POA unusable.
Another error is adding unauthorized modifications or conditions to the form. The DR 835 form is designed to be filled out as is. Adding conditions or altering the form’s structure can lead to it being declined. It’s important to follow the form's instructions carefully and refrain from making unauthorized changes.
Failing to keep a copy of the completed form is a mistake that can cause issues down the line. It's essential to have a record of the power of attorney for personal records and in case the tax authority requires further verification or encounters processing issues.
When handling tax matters, particularly with the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form, it's often necessary to gather and complete additional forms and documents to ensure a comprehensive approach. These materials support and streamline the process, ensuring that all aspects of an individual's tax situation are adequately addressed. Below are four commonly associated forms and documents that are important in this context.
Gathering and accurately completing these forms and documents, alongside the Tax POA DR 835, creates a strong foundation for handling one’s tax affairs. Through thoughtful preparation and attention to detail, individuals can navigate their tax responsibilities with greater ease and confidence.
The Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form allows individuals to grant authority to another person to manage their tax matters. This form reflects a very specific type of POA, designated for tax-related transactions. It is similar to the General Power of Attorney, but with a narrower focus. While the General Power of Attorney grants broad powers across a wide range of personal, financial, and business affairs, the Tax POA DR 835 is specifically limited to tax issues, giving the agent the power to file taxes, communicate with tax authorities, and make tax-related decisions on behalf of the principal.
Similarly, the Health Care Power of Attorney is akin to the Tax POA DR 835 form in its function of designating another individual to act on one's behalf, but it diverges in its purpose. The Health Care Power of Attorney empowers an agent to make health-related decisions, including treatment options and end-of-life care, but does not encompass financial or tax matters. This document, like the Tax POA, is also specific in its application, illustrating how power of attorney documents can range broadly in scope depending on the needs of the individual.
The Durable Power of Attorney, like the Tax POA DR 835, authorizes someone else to act on behalf of the principal. Its distinction lies in its resilience in the face of the principal's incapacity or mental disability. While the Tax POA may or may not be durable (depending on how it is drafted), the Durable Power of Attorney is explicitly designed to survive the principal's incapacity, making it particularly relevant for long-term planning across all areas, including taxation but not limited to it.
The Limited Power of Attorney shares similarities with the Tax POA DR 835 by granting powers for a specific task or period. However, unlike the Tax POA, which is focused solely on tax matters, the Limited Power of Attorney can apply to any narrowly defined task, such as selling a particular piece of property, managing certain financial transactions, or any other specific act designated by the principal. It provides a customized approach to granting authority, mirroring the specificity of the Tax POA but without the tax-exclusive focus.
The Financial Power of Attorney resembles the Tax POA DR 835 in allowing an individual to designate an agent to handle their financial affairs. This document encompasses a broader range of activities, including but not limited to managing bank accounts, investing, and handling transactions. Whereas the Tax POA is tax-centric, the Financial Power of Attorney covers a wider spectrum of financial management tasks, demonstrating how different POAs cater to diverse aspects of a person's life.
The Springing Power of Attorney and the Tax POA DR 835 are alike in that they entrust someone with decision-making authority; however, the trigger for this authority's activation differs significantly. The Springing Power of Attorney becomes effective only under circumstances predefined by the principal, such as incapacity. This contrasts with the Tax POA, which typically takes effect immediately upon execution or according to specific terms outlined in the document, focusing solely on tax matters regardless of the principal's capacity.
Lastly, the Real Estate Power of Attorney and the Tax POA DR 835 share the trait of allowing the principal to appoint an agent for particular matters. The Real Estate Power of Attorney specifically lets the agent handle buying, selling, managing, and other real estate transactions on behalf of the principal. This focus on real estate transactions highlights the document's specialized nature, similar to how the Tax POA specializes in tax affairs, showcasing the various ways in which power of attorney can be tailored to fit individual needs.
When filling out the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form, there are several important guidelines to follow. To ensure accuracy and compliance, here is a list of dos and don’ts:
When discussing the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form, there are several misconceptions that need to be clarified. Understanding these misconceptions is crucial in ensuring that taxpayers are well-informed about the function and implications of this form.
Clarifying these misconceptions ensures that taxpayers understand the purpose and use of the Tax POA DR 835 form correctly, thereby making informed decisions regarding their tax matters.
When preparing and utilizing the Tax Power of Attorney (POA) DR 835 form, it is important to understand its purpose and requirements. This form allows you to grant authority to another person, known as an agent, to handle your tax matters before the tax authority. Below are key takeaways to ensure its correct use:
