The Minnesota form REV184a serves an important purpose for taxpayers who wish to streamline their communication with the Minnesota Department of Revenue. This form allows individuals to appoint a representative, often referred to as an attorney-in-fact, to receive all correspondence, including refunds and legal notices, related to their tax matters and nontax debts. By completing this election, taxpayers forfeit direct communication with the department, as all relevant correspondence will be directed to their appointee. The process requires careful attention; the form must be attached to the Power of Attorney (Form REV184) to be valid. If not, the department will deny the election and return the form. Additionally, taxpayers must be aware that this election has an expiration date, which can be set or will default to the revocation of the power of attorney. Proper completion of the form includes providing personal information, such as names, Social Security numbers, and addresses, as well as indicating whether this is an original election, an amendment, or a cancellation of a previous election. The form must be signed and dated to take effect, ensuring that both the taxpayer and their appointee are informed and authorized to act on behalf of the taxpayer.

Form Example

REV184a

Election for Power of Attorney

To have Appointee Receive All Correspondence from the Department of Revenue

You may elect to have the Minnesota Department of Revenue send to your power of attorney any and all refunds, legal notices, and correspondence relating to your tax matters and to your nontax debts referred to the department for collection. This election is effective only for the authority you have granted to your appointee. If you make this election, you will no longer receive anything from the department—including refunds—and your appointee will receive it all on your behalf.

To make this election, complete and attach this form to the Power of Attorney (Form REV184) granting powers to the appointee. If Form REV184 is not attached, the department will deny your election, and the form will be returned to you.

This election will expire on the designated expiration date or when you revoke the power of attorney, whichever is earlier.
