- Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the editor.
- In section 1, enter your taxpayer information. This includes your full name, address, and taxpayer identification number. Ensure that you provide a daytime telephone number and, if applicable, a plan number.
- In section 2, provide details for the appointee. You may list multiple appointees by attaching an additional list. Fill in the appointee's name, address, and PTIN if applicable. Indicate if this is a new appointee by checking the corresponding box.
- In section 3, specify the tax information you wish to authorize the appointee to access. Select the type of tax (e.g., income, payroll) and indicate the relevant forms and periods. If applicable, authorize access via an Intermediate Service Provider by checking the box.
- Section 4 is for specific uses not recorded on the Centralized Authorization File. If this applies, check the box and skip the next two lines.
- In section 5, choose whether you want the appointee to receive ongoing communications. Check the appropriate box to either allow or deny receiving copies of tax information and notices.
- Section 6 involves the retention or revocation of prior authorizations. If you are not checking the box in section 4, complete this section to retain specific prior authorizations if needed.
- Finally, section 7 requires your signature and date. Ensure that your form is complete before signing, as an incomplete form will be returned. If signed by someone other than the taxpayer, indicate their title and relation to the taxpayer.
- After you've filled out all necessary sections, save your changes. You will then have options to download, print, or share the completed form as needed.

Form 8821 allows designated representatives to receive tax information but does not grant them authority to act on your behalf when dealing with the IRS. This means they cannot sign documents or represent you in discussions with the IRS. It’s important to understand these limitations when considering whether to use form 8821 or a power of attorney. By being aware of these restrictions, you can choose the right form to meet your needs.
