 Internal Revenue Service IRS tax news tax pros can use the IRS tax pro account to simplify authorization requests Wow, that's great Honestly convincing the IRS that this e-signature thing is actually a good tool one that they might want to actually implement Has been like trying to convince Pete Buttigieg to visit that Ohio train disaster, you know I it's not impossible, but it does take President Trump humiliating them before he'll actually do it and in the case of the IRS it takes every other business utilizing the technology of the e-signature before they're like hey Maybe that might be useful over here, you know and and speaking of convincing Trying to get dr. Fauci to stop potentially lying about that COVID theory that it came from a Chinese lab and like Wuhan It's like trying to get Hunter Biden to stop lying about his crack habit You know, it's a battle that you just might not win Unless like you have a whole laptop full of evidence or something or multiple laptops of it or whatever, you know You got a holy guy. I have a lot of stuff any case But let's not forget that even the government is starting to admit that that COVID might have come from that lab in Wuhan China, I mean they got a low level of assurance on it But they're actually saying, huh, maybe, you know, maybe, you know And if if the government can admit that maybe they'll eventually admit that what's coming out of dr. Fauci's mouth is not in fact The distilled essence of science itself, but actually just a bunch of crap And if that's the case it would explain why he's so obsessed with masks, you know He's just trying to keep the smell of his own BS from reaching his nose You know, I Dr. Fauci is like well The lab theory is not scientifically sound, you know, because it's culturally insensitive I mean the idea of Chinese scientists having a modern accident in a high-tech lab The lab possibly funded by us just paints the wrong image of the Chinese My theory is much more palatable and sensitive says dr. Fauci And it's just like, you know, some Chinese dude Probably went to a wet market and traded like a half-eaten fish, you know for a raw bat or something At which point he probably just grabbed the raw bat out of the slimy goo it was in and Proceeded to bite the bloated pus-filled COVID infected head off, you know, like some kind of barbarian heathen And because that's the more culturally sensitive theory, it must be the more scientific one obviously and it's like Please put your mask back on dr. Fauci You know dr. Fauci is like look look I'm not willing to throw my theory in the trash just because of quote evidence and quote I mean, what is evidence compared to me? science incarnate It's like Come on dr. Fauci. We've all seen you throw You're not capable of throwing anything in the trash for crying out loud. I mean give me a break But it but let's not dwell on that too much Instead, let's focus on the fact that the fallout from the policies is going to be remembered Historically as a lockdown catastrophe not a pandemic crisis It's like the government tried to fix a leaky faucet by blowing up the whole house Sure, the leak is fixed, but now we're homeless Wait a second Look at that pipe that's sticking out of the dirt over there. It's still leaking IRS tax tip 2023-24 February 27 2023 tax pro account. Let's tax professionals submit an authorization request to a taxpayers IRS online account There's a link to that here now This can be a useful tool as we know the IRS has been trying to get people to do more of the e-filing of the actual Tax return and use the direct deposits But some other things have still been a little bit more difficult to implement this kind of e-signature type of technology Such as the power of attorney forms that are often used when you're trying to represent a client for example in some specific type of Tax issue so now they've got kind of an e-signature type of situation Which is used through the accounts that would mean however that I believe the client is going to need to have signed up to their IRS account which historically many people haven't been logged in to their IRS account Because the IRS hasn't been utilizing their website capacities as efficiently as other kind of related or similar Institutions like banks for example, but obviously they're trying to do that so that if that is the case then it could be a little bit more simplified of a process to Do some of these other forms like a power of attorney and whatnot So this includes both power of attorney and tax information authorization requests The taxpayers can then review approve and sign the requests Electronically so it could be a useful tool using tax pro account for authorizations to start an authorization in tax pro account Tax professionals must enter their personal information and their clients personal information Exactly as it appears on IRS tax records.
