The Internal Revenue Service IRS recently announced the release of two new electronic tools for tax professionals. Disclosure Authorization and Electronic Account Resolution are the latest additions to the suite of e-services that give tax professionals online options for working with the IRS.

The Disclosure Authorization tool gives eligible tax practitioners an online option for submitting Power of Attorney or Taxpayer Information Authorization forms. Electronic Account Resolution allows tax practitioners to electronically correspond with the IRS.

“Business systems modernization is a key part of our broader agenda at the IRS,” said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. “IRS continues to improve service to taxpayers through delivery of technology.”

Disclosure Authorization and Electronic Account Resolution are premium e-services. They are available to tax professionals who successfully e-file 100 or more individual tax returns and are registered to use e-services.
