The Department of Finance (DOF) requires a Power of Attorney (POA) if someone, such as a lawyer or accountant, is seeking information or filing something on behalf of a business or other entity. A POA is also required if you want to grant someone else the authorization to request copies of filed business tax returns or discuss a case with DOF.
For Business and Excise Taxes, taxpayers may complete a POA-1 Form. For all other DOF matters, for example, a property tax payment agreement or a parking matter, a POA-2 Form should be completed. DOF will also accept other validly executed powers of attorney.

The Department of Finance (DOF) only handles Power of Attorney questions related to DOF business tax matters.
