What This Letter Means
Letter 2675C, Power of Attorney Termination Response, confirms that an authorization on your tax account has ended. The IRS keeps powers of attorney (Form 2848) and tax information authorizations (Form 8821) in its Centralized Authorization File. This letter tells you an authorization was deleted from that file.
It happens one of two ways:
- You revoked it. You told the IRS you no longer want that person to represent you or see your information.
- Your representative withdrew. The representative told the IRS they no longer represent you for those matters.
The IRS sends the letter to the taxpayer and to each third party being removed. It lists the tax periods that were removed.
What to Do
- Read the list of tax periods. Make sure it matches what you expected.
- If you revoked the authorization yourself, nothing more is needed.
- If your representative withdrew and you didn't know, contact them. From now on, the IRS will not discuss those periods with that person or send them copies of your notices.
- If you have an open IRS matter, don't let it sit without help. Sign a new Form 2848 for a new representative.
- If the removal looks wrong, call the number on the letter right away.
Why It Matters
When an authorization ends, IRS notices for those periods go only to you. If you were counting on a representative to watch for deadlines, that safety net is gone. Open every IRS envelope until someone new is on file.
Deadlines
This letter does not require a response. Any deadlines on other open IRS notices still apply.
