Information Page and Request Form
- The online request format requires taxpayer login credentials and calls for submission of detailed information by a person with knowledge of the companies finances. Online requests generally take a few days for Dept of Revenue to process.
- The paper request form does include a section allowing for Power of Attorney, but our experience is that even when the Power of Attorney option is utilized, the Dept of Revenue tends to return everything directly to Taxpayer. Paper requests can take several weeks to process. The Dept of Revenue considers the paper form to be a backup option for use when the online option cannot be utilized for any reason.
