Illinois TPA + POA Requirements
Why this matters
Beyond coordinates with state agencies on your behalf – handling new hire reporting to labor departments, calculating applicable tax rates, making tax and insurance payments, and filing necessary reports. To perform these functions, we must be authorized to represent you with the tax authorities in every state where your business has obligations.
For instance, if your operations are based in both Illinois and Indiana, you’ll need to submit a separate power of attorney form for each state.
Since each tax agency follows its own authorization process, the steps and requirements will differ. Some may request your tax account details, while others will require a signed Power of Attorney (POA). Below are the instructions for Illinois.
