Reminder: Fax Number for 2848 and 8821 Have CHANGED 10/01/2012


Just a reminder that the fax numbers for filing IRS Forms 2848 (Power of Attorney) and 8821 (Tax Information Authorization) have changed.  Unfortunately, the forms 2848 and 8821 and brochures such as Publication 4245 have not been updated yet, and the old numbers will NOT BE FORWARDED AFTER TODAY. Another good reason to use e-services to file your powers of attorney.

The new numbers are

Memphis 855-214-7519

Ogden 855-214-7522

Philadelphia remains the same (only for taxpayers abroad) 267-941-1017

FYI, 855 is a new toll-free area code (since 2010. Other toll free area codes in use are 800, 866, 877 and 888).

(States west of the Mississippi should submit authorizations to Ogden; states east of the Mississippi should submit authorizations to Memphis. The exceptions are: authorizations related to taxpayers residing abroad, which should be submitted to Philadelphia, and Arkansas and Louisiana submit authorizations to Memphis.)

BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR FAX MACHINE SPEED-DIAL or Telephone listing!!!
