Form 8655, Reporting Agent Authorization, gives permission to a third-party agent (such as a payroll service provider or accountant) to perform certain tax-related duties. These duties may include filing employment tax returns, making tax deposits and payments, and receiving tax information directly from the IRS.
When it comes to requesting certain tax forms and documents from the Internal Revenue Service agency, you can order such documents from the IRS through fax by getting a local fax number (or port your currently existing fax number) and add the ability to receive faxes in Fax.Plus. All your submitted documents will be accessible for future references in your fully encrypted Faxes tab.
By using Fax.Plus on your smartphone, your device effectively becomes a portable fax machine. Learn how to scan documents by scanning physical documents directly with your camera, then faxing them instantly—no extra steps required.
Businesses or employers that hire a Reporting Agent (e.g., payroll service providers, accounting firms, or tax preparers) to handle federal tax matters on their behalf need to file Form 8655. The Reporting Agent may also submit this form with the client’s approval.
