In this episode you will learn: - Oral disclosure authorization is limited to a single conversation and expires when the call ends. - The third-party designee checkbox on a tax return grants discussion authority for one year but does not permit representation in an audit or appeal. - A Form 8655 Reporting Agent Authorization is for specific duties like payroll filings and does not create broad representation rights. - None of these limited authorizations allow a designee to receive a client's refund, sign agreements, or otherwise bind the taxpayer. - The crucial distinction tested on the exam is between these limited consents and the comprehensive powers granted by a Form 2848, Power of Attorney.
