The Iowa Tax Power of Attorney (Form 14-101a) is offered to the people of the state by the local government’s Department of Revenue. Its purpose is to allow individuals to supply their representation (an accountant, attorney, or another type of agent) with the right to perform tax functions in their name. Users can limit the amount of authority given by inputting the exact type of tax matters that they want to be managed on their behalf. Apart from establishing the access that will be granted, the principal must identify every individual/entity involved, sign the document, and then send it to the corresponding department for proper registration (view the “How to File” section below for further instructions).
