Authorization
Treat Form 2848 as a tracked authorization workflow—not a one-time PDF.
Quick answer: Power of attorney failures can delay every later step in a case. A structured workflow keeps tax matters, signatures, submission and CAF verification visible.
Define the authorized matters precisely
Confirm taxpayer identity, tax forms, periods and representative information before preparing the authorization.
Control signature requirements
Track who must sign, whether wet signatures are required for the submission path being used and whether all representative sections are complete.
Record submission and rejection detail
Keep fax or upload date, confirmation evidence and any rejection reason with the case.
Verify authorization before relying on access
Confirm the authorization is on file and usable before assuming transcripts or account actions can be completed.
Frequently asked questions
What should a CRM track for Form 2848?
Taxpayer, representative, tax forms, periods, signatures, submission date, proof, CAF status and rejection reasons.
Why track rejected POAs separately?
A rejected authorization blocks later representation work and should create an immediate corrective task rather than disappearing into notes.
