What is Representation?

Representation means a qualified professional can act on your behalf before the IRS. This ensures your rights are protected and that you don’t have to face IRS audits, collections, or disputes alone.

Form 2848 vs Form 8821

  • Form 2848 (Power of Attorney): Authorizes CPA Clinics to represent you directly before the IRS, including audits, appeals, and collections.
  • Form 8821 (Tax Information Authorization): Allows CPA Clinics to access your IRS records but not act on your behalf.

Scope of Representation

With Form 2848, CPA Clinics can:

  • Communicate directly with IRS agents.
  • File appeals and negotiate settlements.
  • Request penalty relief and payment plans.
  • Protect your taxpayer rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.

Confidentiality Protections

  • All information shared with CPA Clinics is confidential.
  • IRS rules ensure your representative cannot disclose your data without consent.
  • Multilingual support ensures ESL taxpayers understand their rights fully.
