Robin Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Is there a particular number to fax a POA in order to access e-services, as I need to pull a client transcript. I have always faxed the form while on the phone with an agent in the past, but hesitate to call because of the long wait times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 The transcript retrieval site is what IRS turned off. You will have to call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 The instructions for the POA (form 2848) have the phone numbers for faxing the form to the CAF unit. I usually wait about a week before trying to access the transcript to give them time to record the information. Sometimes I have gotten it faster and sometimes it has taken longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 E-services may be used to retrieve transcripts AFTER the POA is posted by the CAF unit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack from Ohio Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Jack, you're a real optimist!Just a realist. I get a real kick out of the requirements the IRS puts on us to protect our clients' information...

Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 My understanding was that transcripts via e-services are available, and that transcripts requested by taxpayers via the "get transcript' are not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
