Declaration of Taxpayer. Be sure to keep a copy of your tax return.
I consent that my refund be directly deposited as designated in the refund section of my 2007 federal income tax return (or Form 8888, if applicable). If I have filed a joint tax return, this is an irrevocable appointment of the other spouse as an agent to receive the refund. I do not want direct deposit of my refund or I am not receiving a refund.

b c

I authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an ACH electronic funds withdrawal entry to the financial institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of my federal taxes owed on this tax return and/or a payment of estimated tax. I further understand that this authorization may apply to future federal tax payments that I direct to be debited through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). In order for me to initiate future payments, I request that the IRS send me a personal identification number (PIN) to access EFTPS. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until I notify the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent to terminate the authorization. To revoke a payment, I must contact the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 1-888-353-4537 no later than 2 business days prior to the payment (settlement) date. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic payment of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment. If I have filed a balance due tax return, I understand that if the IRS does not receive full and timely payment of my tax liability, I will remain liable for the tax liability and all applicable interest and penalties. If I have filed a joint federal and state tax return, and there is an error on my federal tax return, I understand my state tax return will be rejected. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined a copy of my electronic individual income tax return, and accompanying schedules and statements for the tax year ending December 31, 2007, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete. I further declare that the amounts in Part I above are the amounts shown on the copy of my electronic income tax return. I consent to allow my intermediate service provider and/or transmitter to send my tax return, to the IRS and to receive the following information from the IRS: (a) an acknowledgment of receipt or reason for rejection of the transmission, (b) an indication of any refund offset, (c) the reason for any delay in processing the tax return or refund, (d) notification that Form 8453-OL signature documents have not been received for the past two years, if required, and (e) the date of any refund.
