- How do I file this tax power of attorney?
- Complete the taxpayer, representative, tax type, and tax period sections, then sign as the form directs before a notary and two witnesses. Submit it to the taxing authority.

- Yes. The form says the signing takes place before the notary in the presence of two witnesses, and it provides signature lines for both witnesses.
