The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has recently made changes in the way in which they process taxpayer’s filing of Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative (POA). Joint filers must now file separate POA's with the IRS regarding their representation.
Effective February 1, 2012, the District's Office of Tax and Revenue will follow the IRS guidelines. Joint filers who have submitted separate POA’s to the IRS will now be required to submit those separate forms to OTR.
Joint filers who choose to file the DC POA form (D-2848) can continue to do so.
