Fill IRS Form 2848 online — free, in your browser
IRS Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, lets a taxpayer authorize an eligible person — an attorney, CPA, enrolled agent, or other qualifying representative — to act on their behalf before the IRS. AttachKit opens the official blank PDF and fills it right in your browser: it auto-fills the taxpayer's name, taxpayer identification number, and phone from a saved profile using on-device heuristics, then leaves the representative details, the tax matters and periods, and the signatures for you to complete and review. Your PDF never leaves your device.
Your PDF never leaves your browser — open DevTools → Network and watch: the file is never uploaded.
Who needs it: Taxpayers who want to authorize a representative to handle IRS matters for them — and the tax professionals (CPAs, enrolled agents, and attorneys) who prepare Form 2848 for their clients. A separate Form 2848 is generally filed for each taxpayer.

Form 2848 questions, answered
General information, not legal or tax advice
This page is general information about a commonly-used tax form. Tax law is complex and fact-specific — for advice on your return, consult a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney. AttachKit fills the PDF; the IRS holds you responsible for what's on it.
- Does AttachKit file Form 2848 with the IRS?
- No. AttachKit fills the PDF in your browser; you download it and submit it to the IRS yourself (by fax or mail to the address in the current Form 2848 instructions, or through the IRS online account where eligible). This isn't tax advice — check the official Form 2848 instructions or a tax professional.
- Is it safe to put the taxpayer's SSN or EIN in my profile?
- Your SSN/EIN stays in your browser's localStorage and never syncs to our servers — even when you're signed in (your name + address sync; your SSN/EIN never do). AttachKit fills the ID box on-device, so it isn't sent to any third-party AI.
- Can I sign it in AttachKit?
- Yes — fill via /fill/2848, then click 'Sign' in the menu to add your signature on the same PDF, still entirely in your browser.
