client authorization for return release

Jan 09, 2008 3 Replies

Now that the IRS is requiring authorization from the client before a preparer releases the return to a third party (mortgage companies, auto finance companies, banks, etc), does anyone have a good authorization form they use?



I can see we will have difficulty deciding on what to put in the authorization form, so I'd like some input from the other pros on here.



BTW, it's good to be back on here. Heck, it's good to be anywhere other than my rental property getting it ready to sell.


See Revenue Procedures 2008-13, I believe, for the form.

I didn't see a form there.

Anybody got one?

It's not a form like you would expect, rather a format. If you draft a letter with all those elements in it, you're covered.
