The IRS will not accept a Partnership return with a Power of Attorney attached if they do not have the Power of Attorney file. To file electronically, remove the POA from the electronic return before transmission. If the partnership is required to file a return, not removing the POA will not relieve the partnership of its filing requirement.
The POA must be submitted on paper to the IRS Center, where the taxpayer would normally file a paper return. The POA must be submitted at least six weeks before transmitting a return that includes the Power of Attorney. When six weeks have passed, the tax return can be submitted electronically.
