The Arkansas State Tax Power of Attorney grants certain rights to an “attorney-in-fact” to file/pay a principal party’s taxes for them. As you may know, this POA is mainly taken advantage of by those who wish to hire the services of an accounting firm or tax attorney to assist them in managing their obligations as a taxpayer. The form requests the names of the taxpayer(s) and their selected representative(s), a description of the tax matters they want to be handled, and any limitations on the powers bestowed. This is all summed up with the endorsement(s) of the taxpayer(s) to confirm that they agree to the statements made within the written instrument.
