- 855-214-7523: All U.S. states and territories, fax directly to the IRS RAF Team in Ogden, UT

Fax.Plus lets a Reporting Agent, or the business authorizing one, send that form straight from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation you can keep on file, useful since the IRS caps each submission at 25 forms and provides no other confirmation of its own.

Las Business o los empleadores que contratan a un Agente de Informes (por ejemplo, proveedores de servicios de nómina, firmas de contabilidad o preparadores de impuestos) para que se encarguen de los asuntos fiscales federales en su nombre deben presentar el formulario 8655.

What can't a Reporting Agent do under Form 8655?
Form 8655 authorizes filing, deposits, payments, and receiving IRS correspondence, but it does not grant representation. A Reporting Agent cannot request penalty abatement, formally represent the client before IRS Appeals, Collection, or Exam, sign consents extending the time to assess tax, execute waivers on tax adjustments, set up an installment agreement, or receive refund checks on the client's behalf.
How is Form 8655 different from Form 2848 or Form 8821?
Form 8655 grants a Reporting Agent operational authority to file specific returns and make deposits or payments on a business's behalf. Form 2848 grants broader representational authority to argue a case before the IRS, and Form 8821 grants information-only access with no authority to act. All three can be on file at once for the same taxpayer, they're recorded on separate IRS systems and don't cancel each other out.
Which tax forms can a Reporting Agent handle under Form 8655?
For signing and filing, Form 8655 covers Forms 940, 941, 943, 944, 945, 1042, and CT-1. For making deposits and payments, it covers a broader list that also includes Forms 720, 990-PF, 990-T, 1041, and 1120. You indicate which specific forms and periods you're authorizing directly on the form.
If I hire a Reporting Agent, am I still responsible for my own taxes?
Yes. Authorizing a Reporting Agent with Form 8655 does not shift legal responsibility for timely filing or timely tax deposits and payments away from you. The IRS requires Reporting Agents to remind their clients of this in writing when the engagement begins and at least once a quarter afterward.
Does Form 8655 have anything to do with EFTPS enrollment?
Indirectly, yes. To confirm a client's identity for the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, a Reporting Agent's entity details (EIN, name, address) must exactly match IRS records. Once a Form 8655 authorization is on file with the IRS's Reporting Agent File, the agent can verify that match through IRS e-services, or by phone with Practitioner Priority Services if the filing hasn't processed yet.
Authorizing a Reporting Agent rarely happens in isolation. Here's what else comes up around IRS authorizations, payroll tax filings, and third-party fax submissions.
