The Form 8979 you are looking for begins on the next page of this file. 
Before viewing it, please see the important update information below.

Do Not File Form 8979 by Itself
Caution: Form 8979, Partnership Representative Revocation, Designation, and 
Resignation, should never be separately mailed or faxed (by itself, as a “stand-alone” 
filing) to the IRS.

If submitted by a partnership, Form 8979 should only be submitted: (1) with a validly 
filed AAR (filed for a reason other than just for making a revocation) prior to the 
issuance of either a notice of selection for examination (Letter 2205-D) or a notice of 
administrative proceeding (Letter 5893) or (2) directly to the current IRS employee point 
of contact after the issuance of either Letter 2205-D or Letter 5893.

If submitted by a partnership representative or a designated individual, Form 8979 
should only be submitted directly to the current IRS employee point of contact after the 
issuance of a notice of administrative proceeding (Letter 5893-A).

This update supplements the Instructions for Form 8979. Filers should rely on this 
update for the change described, which will be incorporated into the next revision.
