The California State Tax Power of Attorney is the routine document carried out by individuals or fiduciaries seeking to allow another person or company to manage certain tax-related functions in their name. For example, if somebody wishes to assign their accountant or attorney to file or pay their taxes, they can do so with the fulfillment of this written instrument. It will require the individual or fiduciary to list the unique personal details of each party, the types of powers they would like to deliver access to, and any guidelines concerning the authority granted.
