What is Form REV184i?

Form REV184i lets an individual or sole proprietor appoint someone to access their account information and represent them before the Minnesota Department of Revenue. You choose limited authority, for the tax types, debt issues and years you list, or full authority for all your tax and debt issues.

The authority doesn't include the Additional Powers unless you tick them: communicating by email, signing returns, extending the statute of limitations, executing agreements, adding appointees, receiving all mail except refunds, authorizing release of return information to third parties, and a durable power that stays in effect if you become incapacitated. You can set an expiration date; without one the power of attorney lasts until it's revoked.

FileIt pre-fills your name and email from your vault, prints everything onto the department's own PDF (Rev. 5/21), lists up to five more appointees on page 2, checks the form's rules, saves the finished form in your vault folder and can send it to you for signature.

Who uses it
Individuals and sole proprietors. Businesses use Form REV184b.
Who signs
The taxpayer, or someone with legal authority, such as a parent or guardian for a minor. One spouse is enough for a joint return.
Appointees
One primary appointee on page 1 and five more on page 2; attach copies of page 2 for more.
How to send it
One way only: mail, fax to 651-556-5210 or email to [email protected].

How to fill out Form REV184i, step by step

1 Taxpayer

Name and contact details, and your SSN or ITIN. A decedent's form shows the decedent's name and SSN with the executor's contact details.

2 Primary appointee

The person who will represent you. Only the primary appointee can be chosen to receive your mail.

3 Authority granted

Tick limited authority and list the tax types or debt issues and years, or tick full authority. Add an expiration date if you want one.

4 Additional powers

Tick any extra powers: email, signing returns, extending the statute of limitations, agreements, more appointees, all mail except refunds, release to third parties, and the durable power.

5 Signature

Sign, print your name and title if any, and date it. Add your address if it's different from the taxpayer's.

6 Page 2

Additional appointees, each with full contact details. They get only the authority and powers chosen on page 1.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using REV184i for a business: businesses use REV184b, and you file two forms to cover yourself and your business.
  • Ticking 'receive all mail' when the authority covers only specific years or periods: that option isn't available then.
  • Forgetting to sign and date it: the power of attorney isn't valid until you do.
  • Sending it more than one way. Use mail, fax or email, not several.
  • Appointing someone the department can't accept, such as a current department employee.

After you fill it out

Sign and date page 1, on paper or through FileIt's e-signature request.

Send it by one method only: Minnesota Department of Revenue, Mail Station 4123, 600 N. Robert St., St. Paul, MN 55146; fax 651-556-5210; or email [email protected].

Keep your appointees informed of changes to your account. FileIt keeps the PDF in your vault folder.

Form REV184i: frequently asked questions

How do I revoke an appointee?

You or the appointee send the department a signed and dated statement ending the appointee's authority, or a completed Form REV184r, Revocation of Power of Attorney.

Does my appointee need this form for e-Services?

No. The instructions say no power of attorney is needed for e-Services access, but the appointee must request third-party access through e-Services.

Does my spouse need a separate form?

No. Submit one form for you and your spouse; only one spouse needs to sign for a joint return.

Can my appointee cash my refund?

No. Signing returns doesn't authorize endorsing or negotiating checks, and refunds are mailed to you even when the appointee receives your other mail.

What if I leave the years blank?

With limited authority, a blank years or periods box means the authority applies to all periods for that tax type.
