In this episode you will learn: - Form 8821 provides "read-only" access to tax information, while Form 2848 grants authority to represent the taxpayer. - Appointees on Form 8821 can be almost anyone, but representatives on Form 2848 must be credentialed practitioners like EAs, CPAs, or attorneys. - Filing a new Form 2848 automatically revokes a prior 2848 for the same tax matters unless specified otherwise. - Form 8821 does not grant the power to advocate, negotiate, or sign agreements on behalf of the taxpayer. - A helpful mnemonic: "8821 is for EYES (to see information), 2848 is for MOUTH (to advocate and represent)."
