In this episode you will learn:
- A taxpayer is the only one who can 'revoke' a power of attorney; a representative can only 'withdraw'.
- Filing a new Form 2848 for the same tax matter automatically revokes a prior one unless a specific box is checked to retain the previous authorization.
- A taxpayer can revoke a Power of Attorney by writing "REVOKE" on a copy of the form, signing it, and sending it to the IRS.
- A representative must notify both the IRS and the taxpayer when they withdraw from representation.
- When multiple representatives are involved, a new authorization can be used to selectively remove one representative while keeping others, but it requires careful documentation to avoid revoking everyone.
