IRS assistors will only speak with the taxpayer or to their legally designated representative. If taxpayers or tax professionals are calling about a third party's account, they should be prepared to verify their identities and provide information about the third party they are representing. Before calling about a third–party, callers should have the following information available:

Verbal or written authorization from the third–party to discuss the account;
The ability to verify the taxpayer's name, SSN/ITIN, tax period, and tax form(s) filed;
Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) or PIN if a third–party designee;
A current, completed and signed Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization or a completed and signed Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative.

For questions regarding a deceased taxpayer, the caller should be prepared to fax:

The deceased taxpayer's death certificate; and
Either copies of Letters Testamentary approved by the court, or IRS Form 56, Notice Concerning Fiduciary Relationship (for estate executors).

In–person assistance procedures. The IRS also reminded taxpayers that IRS offices provide in–person assistance but only by appointment.
