REMOVE AN OLD IRS AUTHORIZATION WITHOUT LEAVING A SECOND PERMISSION BEHIND
EINForeigner — private preparation worksheet — November 4, 2026
https://einforeigner.com/revoke-irs-tax-authorization/

Treat revocation as a separate task from appointing a new adviser. The 2848 instructions expressly say filing Form 2848 does not revoke any Form 8821 in effect. Review both authorization families and any specific-use permissions.

Keep this sheet and sensitive identifiers in your own secure records. Do not send them to this site. This is not an IRS form, filing or authorization.

WORKED REFERENCE — FICTIONAL, NOT YOUR RECORD
New CPA, old information access
Cedar signs a new 2848 for a CPA. A former provider still has an 8821 in the file.
The new 2848 does not revoke the 8821. Review that information authorization separately and preserve the chosen revocation evidence.

COMPLETION CHECK
Close each inventory row only to the extent supported: prepared, submitted, delivery evidenced or status confirmed. A revocation draft is not proof that IRS access has ended.
