State Tax Information Authorization Form
State Tax Information Authorization Form
A State Tax Information Authorization Form is a legal document that allows an individual or business to designate a third party to access their state tax information. Key aspects include:
1. Authorizes a specific person or entity to receive tax information
2. Specifies which tax types and years are covered
3. May grant limited or full access to tax records
4. Usually has an expiration date or can be revoked
5. Requires the taxpayer’s signature and often notarization
6. Separate from federal tax authorization forms
This form is useful for taxpayers who want their accountant, attorney, or other representative to handle tax matters on their behalf. It allows the authorized party to communicate directly with the state tax agency, obtain records, and resolve issues. The level of access can be customized, and multiple representatives can be authorized if needed. While it grants access to information, it typically doesn’t allow the representative to sign tax returns or enter into agreements without additional authorization. Each state may have its own specific form and requirements for tax information authorization.
