The Ohio Tax Power of Attorney (Form TBOR 1) is a suitable avenue to take as a resident of the state when you would like to outsource certain tax obligations to a third (3rd) party (accounting firm, tax attorney, IRS agent, etc.). All that the form requires is the information of the taxpayer (principal), their representative (attorney-in-fact), and the tax matters that they would like handled. Once the document has been filled out accordingly, the final step will obligate that all participating parties sign the instrument as directed.
