## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - A taxpayer is the only one who can 'revoke' a power of attorney; a representative can only 'withdraw'. - Filing a new Form 2848 for the same tax matter automatically revokes a prior one unless a specific box is checked to retain the previous authorization. - A taxpayer can revoke a Power of Attorney by writing "REVOKE" on a copy of the form, signing it, and sending it to the IRS. - A representative must notify both the IRS and the taxpayer when they withdraw from representation. - When multiple representatives are involved, a new authorization can be used to selectively remove one representative while keeping others, but it requires careful documentation to avoid revoking everyone.
