The Idaho Tax Power of Attorney is a form originated by the State Tax Commission that is often used by those wanting to assign certain duties to their accountant, attorney, or any other representative they wish to appoint. The document itself is pretty straightforward, only requesting that the issuing party provide their information as a taxpayer, their representative’s details, and the tax matters that they wish to be handled on their behalf. Following the customization of these terms, the principal (taxpayer) is required to sign the instrument as directed.
