1. Write down your personal details - the name that matches the one you include on your income statement and a taxpayer identification number . If you are married and filing jointly, the instrument has to contain the name and taxpayer identification number of your spouse as well.

2. Add your contact details - the street address, fax number, email address, and telephone number . Specify whether the phone number you have listed is your cell phone number or not and clarify when the IRS can contact you. You are also allowed to indicate the name of another individual that can be contacted on your behalf if you do not have a formal representative. State what language you want to use when communicating with tax authorities.

3. Record the number of the tax form you have issues with and point out the tax period covered in the document or the tax year when the problem arose . Use blank space to provide information about the tax issue you have had and the consequences you have had to deal with. You may add extra sheets of paper if you need to offer more details. Additionally, tell the IRS what kind of assistance you want to get.

4. Certify the document - you must authorize tax organs to respond to you in different ways, sign the paperwork, and write down the actual date . Obtain the signature of your spouse if necessary. In case the form is filed on behalf of the corporation, it has to be verified by a corporate officer who also records their title. If you have hired a tax professional to help you with the filing of the request, they must identify themselves in writing and add their contact information. Do not complete the third part of the form - the second page of the instrument must be filled out by the IRS employee that will manage your case.
