The Internal Revenue Service announced a new expansion of Tax Pro Account, introducing business-level digital capabilities for tax professionals who work in tax-preparation companies, accounting firms, or other organizations.
This release allows designated business representatives to:
– Manage business CAF access, including specifying which employees are authorized to act under the business CAF.
– Link the business CAF number to the company’s Employer Identification Number through their Tax Pro Account.
– View taxpayer information associated with the business CAF within the scope of active authorizations.
– View and withdraw active authorizations on behalf of the tax professional business.
This release extends Tax Pro Account beyond sole practitioners to support tax professionals who operate as part of a business entity using a business CAF number.
