The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) always works to enhance and simplify their tax-related services and help individuals manage various financial aspects of their lives. In its latest effort to simplify digital interactions, and as the first step towards fully digitizing and automating the tax system, the IRS launched a ‘Tax Pro Account’ feature in July 2021. Keep reading as we discuss everything you need to know about the latest ‘Tax Pro Account’ feature launched by the IRS.

What is the Purpose of a ‘Tax Pro Account’?

The new ‘Tax Pro Account’ aims to assist taxpayers looking for IRS debt relief by automating and speeding up the submission of applications for Power of Attorneys (POA), which authorizes debt attorneys to represent the taxpayer. It also simplifies the process of submitting tax information authorizations (TIA), which allow tax practitioners to view your accounts. Applications submitted through this medium skip the manual check by IRS representatives and go directly to the Centralized Authorization File (CAF) database. While these are undoubtedly some incredible new benefits, the IRS plans to introduce a lot more for the ‘Tax Pro Account’. Besides, other manual processes are still available for anyone looking to get third-party authorizations for their debt attorney to assist them avail IRS debt relief.

Using ‘Tax Pro Account’ to Get Authorization to Represent Clients

The key benefit of the new ‘Tax Pro Account’ is the real-time processing it offers as an all-digital platform. Firstly, anyone that wants to use the ‘Tax Pro Account’ to get authorization to represent taxpayers must initiate a request for a power of attorney or tax information authorization on IRS.gov. The representative then informs the taxpayer about authorizing the process through a pending request in their IRS online account. The taxpayer needs to log into their account to review and electronically sign the request. Finally, the request is sent to the CAF database, where the time taken for the recording process can vary from a few seconds to 48-hours.

For now, the ‘Tax Pro Account’ feature can only be availed by taxpayers looking to get help from debt attorneys, while other entities can potentially expect to avail this feature in the future. There are a few things taxpayers must keep in mind when planning to use the new ‘Tax Pro Account’ feature. First of all, the taxpayer authorizing POAs and TIAs must have an IRS online account. Secondly, the names and addresses of the taxpayer and the tax professional should accurately match the IRS records. In addition, the tax professional helping with IRS debt forgiveness must have a CAF number and have a good reputation with the IRS. Finally, it is compulsory for both taxpayers and tax professionals to have addresses in the United States.

I called to see if they could help reduce some penalties and fees. The person I spoke with told me it might be counterproductive for them to take my case since their feels would likely equal the amount of penalty/interest abatement. I decided to pass on moving forward but was so happy to hear a legal team, or any business for that matter, who has that much integrity. I feel most others would likely try to take my money anyway. I hope I never have to go through this again, but if I do, I will definitely use the Law Offices of Nick Nemeth!

By far the best attorneys I have ever worked with. They’re are very helpful and supportive from day one. They went above and beyond to make sure all my documents were submitted on time and gave updates as soon as they received them. I cannot name a single flaw in their work. Their team of assistants are very professional and seem to all be on the same page. I’ve made multiple phone calls and sent a ton of emails to their staff and they were able to help me all through the course of the case. I cannot express my gratitude enough for how excellent they handled my case.

My first appointment I had with, Tax Attorney Nick Nemeth, gave me such a sense of relief. He listened and gave me his professional advice, Mr Nemeth took my case. I was well kept updated, by phone calls and letters. That really impressed me and gave me so much confidence in them. The case went on for a couple of months. The day I received the call from one of his team members Kyle, informing me that the case was resolved and that I owed absolutely nothing to the IRS, I was overwhelmed with joy. I would recommend this law firm to anyone that needs help, with any tax issue. Thank you, to the Law Firm of Attorney Nick Nemeth and his team.

I received a tax bill in the mail from the IRS last year in 2023. The fees and penalties I owed were something I myself could not afford. I reached out to Nick Nemeth's firm and received the best experience you could imagine. The team was professional, educational, and fast. If you have a tax issue with the IRS using another firm other than Nick Nemeth's would be an error in judgment. I would recommend their services above others.

Working with Nick Nemeth and his team to resolve my debt with the IRS was the best decision I could have made. I felt such relief knowing I didn’t have to deal with the IRS myself. They did a wonderful job and were responsive to my questions and kept me abreast of my case. My outcome was exactly what I was hoping for. I strongly recommend using them if you have an issue to resolve with the IRS.

I had an incompetent tax preparer, who also ignored several notices from the IRS, which in the end resulted in a lien on my property. I did not know what to do and an attorney friend recommended that I contact the Nick Nemeth Law Offices. I met with Jamie Flores and Ivan Nalbantov in December 2021 for a free consultation, and right away was impressed by their thorough examination of my paperwork and extensive knowledge of IRS tax laws. I felt not pressured and appreciated their advice and in the end decided that I would pursue resolving the issue by myself. I paid the IRS Civil Penalty and, as recommended also submitted a letter to the IRS requesting a refund and explaining what happened. I am glad to report that my persistence finally paid off. My case took two years to resolve and I finally received a full abatement/refund check from the IRS in December 2023. I could not have done this without the straightforward recommendation of Jamie and Ivan; and I highly recommend the Nick Nemeth Law Offices to anyone needing help with the IRS.

I have been very pleased with the solid counsel and guidance that Nick Nemeth has provided me regarding my tax issue. I found him to be honest and straightforward which I appreciated. I was impressed with his relevant experience and knowledge . He has definitely brought me peace of mind during a difficult and stressful time.

I would like to thank Mr. Nick and his staff for the superb help that I received from them. My IRS problem was resolved quickly and efficiently. It took 2 visits to convince me that I was over my head. I thought that I could call the IRS, appeal my tax notices and settle on a payment plan on my own. After many phone calls to the IRS, waiting sometimes more than 4 hours with no resolution to speak of, it proved to be extremely difficult and stressful. Revisiting Mr. Nick was a huge wake up call. My account was reviewed, and a payment plan was established with the IRS within a week. I will be forever grateful to the staff who worked on my case and especially to Lorna who listened to me vent while going through this painful process.

I cannot say enough good things about Nick and his team. When I first met with Nick he was up front, honest, friendly and efficient. When I worked with one of his attorneys, Eric B, I was just as pleased. All of the staff there are nice and very helpful. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get help with my issue. Over 6yrs I tried getting through and getting anywhere with the IRS and hardly made any progress. I know this may not be the case for all, and even I thought it would take longer than it did, but 3mos and they had my situation straightened out. I still can't believe it. Thank you thank you THANK YOU for all that you did for me. This is a huge burden gone out of my life now thanks to you. If anyone needs help out there, I know you may not want to shell out more money to get their help but it may just save you in the long run.

The Nemeth Law team is exceptional. They treat their clients like a family member who is in crisis. They want you to get the best possible outcome. I really appreciate everything that they did for me. Jake and Ashley had the greatest role in my case and it all turned out for the best for me. Thank you Nick and team for easing my fears and getting me through the long process. I'm truly grateful.

During a time in which competent, professional service at a fair price seems to have disappeared, Mr. Nemeth and his team are a refreshing breath of fresh air.From my first phone call to the final settlement of our case with a non-responsive IRS, they under-promised, over-delivered and were in constant courteous contact to make sure we knew exactly what was happening and where we stood.I hope to never need their services again, but, should I receive another friendly letter from the IRS...I know who to call!
