Use of Form A-222 is not mandatory, however, a substitute form must reflect the information that would be provided on Wisconsin Form A-222. Photocopies and FAX copies of Form A-222 are acceptable.

When the representative is accompanied by the taxpayer or, if the taxpayer is a corporation, by an officer or authorized employe of the corporation, a Power of Attorney is not required for the taxpayer's representative to inspect confidential information or to represent the taxpayer at conferences. Also, a Power of Attorney is generally not required for a trustee, receiver, guardian, administrator or executor of an estate, or a representative appointed by a court. for an indefinite period of time.

Note: duplicate copies of computer generated sales, withholding, and delinquent tax notices and other written communications, etc. cannot be issued due to current system restraints. All computer generated mailings sent from the sales, withholding, and delinquent tax systems are sent to one address, so if the Both box is checked these communications will be sent to only the attorney-in-fact. Part 6 ­ Revoking a Power of Attorney By filing a new Form A-222 all prior Powers of Attorney filed with the Department of Revenue for the same matters and years or periods are revoked unless specifically stated otherwise on the line provided.
