Important information

We will return your request if the form is incomplete or you did not provide a legible copy of your valid identification. It takes approximately 30 days for your request to be processed once all the necessary information has been received. To avoid delays, be sure to:

•specify as best you can the type of information being requested,

•provide the reason for your request,

•include a daytime phone number,

•sign Part D of this form, and

•provide a form of identification from which your signature can be validated.

Part C – Third party or authorized individual information

Complete this section only if you are requesting that the information be sent to someone other than you.

Part D – Certification

This form must be signed by the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s authorized representative, and you must provide a form of identification from which your signature can be validated (such as a legible photocopy of your valid driver license or non-driver ID card). If the request applies to a joint return, only one spouse is required to sign.

If the taxpayer is unable to sign, you must submit a power of attorney, power of appointment, or other evidence to establish that you are authorized to act on behalf of the taxpayer or are authorized to receive the taxpayer’s tax information. A representative can sign Form DTF-505 for a taxpayer only if this authority has been specifically delegated to the representative on a power of attorney (for example, Form POA-1, Power of Attorney). Attach a copy.

For a corporation, the signature of the president, secretary, or other principal officer is required.

For partnerships, any person who was a member of the requesting partnership during any part of the tax period can sign the form.

For entities other than individuals, you must attach the authorization document. For example, this could be the letter from the principal officer authorizing an employee of the corporation or the Letters Testamentary authorizing an individual to act for an estate.
