The IRS launched a new feature that will allow individual taxpayers to authorize their tax practitioner to represent them before the IRS with a Power of Attorney (POA) and to view their tax accounts with a Tax Information Authorizations (TIA). And tax pros may now go to the new Tax Pro Account on IRS.gov to digitally initiate POAs and TIAs. This initial launch of the Tax Pro Account represents the first release of the tool. Over time, additional functionality will be added that will increase the options for electronic interactions.
