The Colorado State Tax Power of Attorney is supplied by the Department of Revenue and helps residents convey tax powers to their representation. The party issuing the authority has the choice of providing their agent with a sweeping power that includes all tax-related matters or designating a more specific area of their tax liabilities. Once the principal has listed the identity of their agent and selected the tax powers that they wish to deliver, they may proceed by signing the instrument along with their representation to confirm the details of the arrangement.
