The Minnesota Department of Revenue can disclose confidential client information to you if you have power of attorney for your client.

*How do I get power of attorney for my clients?*

You have several options:


* To have your clients grant you full or limited authority to act on their behalf, send us Form REV184i, Individual or Sole Proprietor Power of Attorney [ [link removed] ], or Form REV184b, Business Power of Attorney [ [link removed] ].
* To have your clients grant you a one-time release of private or nonpublic data, send us Form REV185i, Authorization to Release Individual or Sole Proprietor Tax Information [ [link removed] ], or Form REV185b, Authorization to Release Business Tax Information [ [link removed] ].
* Send us federal Form 2848 [ [link removed] ]. Section 3 of this form must state ?Minnesota? (or ?MN?) or a Minnesota tax form number with specific tax years and tax types.
* Have your clients check the box on the bottom of their Minnesota return that reads: ?I authorize the Minnesota Department of Revenue to discuss this return with my paid preparer or the third-party designee indicated on my federal return.?

We will not accept power of attorney forms (including Form REV184) with revision dates of October 2012 or earlier.
