Third party designee.
Beginning with your tax return for 2001, you can check the "Yes"
box in the "Third Party Designee" area of your return to
authorize the IRS to discuss your return with a friend, family member,
or any other person you choose. This allows the IRS to call the person
you identified as your designee to ask any questions that may arise
during the processing of your return. It also allows your designee to
perform certain actions. See your income tax package for details.
