A Tax Information Authorization (TIA) is a critical form often used in assisting taxpayers with their IRS tax matters. Form 8821 is a taxpayer's written authorization designating one or more third parties, including an entity, to receive and view the taxpayer's information. The designee(s) may inspect or receive confidential tax information for the tax matters, forms and periods specified on Form 8821. This authorization includes the right to receive verbal and written account information (e.g., transcripts) and copies of IRS notices. The designee(s) of a TIA can be anyone the taxpayer chooses, including family and friends. Form 8821 and its instructions were already available in English and Spanish; also making the instructions available in traditional Chinese will expand access and understanding of this important process. "This is another step we've taken in our ongoing efforts to do more to help taxpayers in their most comfortable language," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "Providing Chinese-language instructions for this form helps ensure additional taxpayers with limited English proficiency can understand the authorization they're giving to those who are helping them with tax matters." While Form 8821 is not yet available in traditional Chinese, the Instructions for Form 8821 (zh-t) in traditional Chinese joins other multilingual forms and publications available to assist tax professionals and third-party designees:
Most tax professionals now use the online Tax Pro Account at IRS.gov/TaxProAccount. Tax Pro Account allows for faster processing of certain Form 8821 authorizations versus filing Form 8821; most online requests record immediately to the Centralized Authorization File (CAF). See the Instructions for Form 8821 for details. Increasing the availability of services and tax products that are easy to use and support the needs of all communities is part of the IRS's recently released new five-year Strategic Plan that outlines the agency's goals to improve taxpayer service and tax administration. Information about IRS services available in languages other than English is available at IRS.gov/MyLanguage. IRS multilingual resources
