Form 01-137 (Back)(Rev.5-22/4)
If no specific date of expiration is selected, I understand that the Comptroller’s office may act under this limited power of attorney until the Comptroller’s 
office receives written notice of my revocation. My Agent has the power and authority to do and perform every act necessary and proper in the exercise of 
any of the powers described above, as fully as I could do personally. This includes the right to request and receive confidential information. I acknowledge 
that use of the named Agent does not relieve me, as the taxpayer or officer, director or employee of the taxpayer, of my responsibilities when filing accu-
rate reports and returns. I further acknowledge that I am ultimately responsible for the accuracy of any reports or returns filed on my behalf by my Agent.
If signing as an officer, director or employee of the taxpayer, I certify that my duties include administering the taxpayer’s rights and responsibil-
ities with the Comptroller’s office and that I have authority to execute this limited power of attorney.
