POWER OF ATTORNEY
GENERAL INFORMATION
PURPOSE OF FORM
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document authorizing someone to act as your representative. You, the taxpayer,
must complete, sign, and return this form if you wish to grant power of attorney to an accountant, tax return preparer,
attorney, family member or anyone else to act on your behalf with the Idaho Tax Commission. This form can be used for
any matter affecting a tax administered by the Tax Commission, including audit and collection matters. It doesn’t apply to
matters before other state or federal agencies, including the IRS. This form is effective on the date signed and will remain
in effect until the expiration date, if specifically designated, or until you revoke it, whichever is earlier.
SUBMITTING A POA
You can appoint, change, or add representative(s) at any time by submitting a POA. If you previously filed a POA with the
Tax Commission, submitting another POA with the same tax matters and tax periods will automatically replace and revoke
all previous POAs on file. If you want to add a representative, but not replace or revoke the previous POA(s), check the
box in Section 5 and attach a copy of all POAs that are to remain in effect.
REVOKING OR WITHDRAWING A POA
You may revoke a POA or the representative may withdraw at any time by submitting a copy of the previously executed
POA with “REVOKE” written across the top of the form with your signature and date. You can also submit a written
statement specifying your intention to revoke a POA or withdraw as the representative. You must sign and date the
statement and include the name, address, and SSN/EIN of the taxpayer and the name and address of the representatives
whose authority is being revoked or withdrawn.
EXPIRATION
A Tax Commission POA is valid until:
• It expires on a date designated on the POA. (See Section 5)
• It is revoked by the taxpayer or withdrawn by the representative
• The taxpayer becomes incapacitated and unable to make his own decisions
• The taxpayer’s death
WHO MUST SIGN
