Fax and mail require wet ink
Prefer electronic signatures? Use IRS.gov/Submit2848 or Tax Pro Account. We do not stamp a signature pad onto Form 2848.
CAF only in this wizard
Line 4 specific-use (EIN application, PLR, FOIA, and similar) must be faxed to the office handling that matter, not CAF East/West. Use generic send for those. We are not your representative and never invent a return fax number. Letting someone see the records, without representing you, is Form 8821.
FAQ
Yes. Submit Form 2848 at IRS.gov/Submit2848 or use Tax Pro Account for eligible authorizations. Electronic signatures require online submission; fax and mail require wet-ink signatures.
What customers say
"SingleFax made the whole process surprisingly easy. I needed to fax an EIN application to the IRS and also have a temporary fax number so the IRS could send the EIN back. I was able to get a 30-day receiving number, send the application online from my computer, and avoid signing up for a monthly fax service I didn’t need."
