From: Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. A Power of Attorney is a legal document. It gives one person, or more than one person, the authority to manage your money and property for you. You're not required to make a Power of Attorney.
Talk to the person you've chosen as attorney to make sure they're willing to be your attorney. If they are, talk to them about their duties. Make sure that they're aware of your wishes. Remind the attorney that they're legally obligated to always act in your best interest, not their own.
Disputes between attorneys could cause problems in the management of your finances. Think about naming a trusted professional as your decision-maker if your finances are complicated or if you're not sure if your friends or family can manage them. Keep in mind there may be fees. Make sure you list any restrictions in your power ...

All electronic authorization requests by representatives for individuals and business clients will not be activated until the representative has been verified. Clients may be contacted by the CRA to verify the representative's authorization request.
Your representative's authorization will no longer automatically expire when we are notified of your death. Note: There are exceptions. We cancel the authorization for some legal representatives on your account when we become aware of your death. For information on how to cancel authorization, go to Cancel authorization for a representative.
The Form T183 must be completed in duplicate with the Part F signed by the taxpayer or the person who is required to file the return under the Income Tax Act (for example: Trustee in Bankruptcy or Legal Representative) before the return is electronically transmitted.
If a power of attorney exists, this must be retained with the T183 form for at least six years following the date the return was electronically filed.
Form 8453 has a specific box to check if you are attaching a POA indicating that the individual has authority to sign the tax return: Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative (or POA that states the agent is granted authority to sign the return)
A power of attorney is generally terminated if you become incapacitated or in- competent. The power of attorney can continue, however, in the case of your incapacity or incompetency if you authorize this on line 5a “Other acts authorized” of the Form 2848. Does this mean I should also add words like these to Line 5a:
The Form 1040 goes to the normally assigned site based on state of residency where the form is scanned (assuming it was a mailed return). The Form 2848 goes a department of the IRS known as Entity Dept. with main office in Ogden but also in Memphis and Philadelphia.
Don't attach any form or document that isn't shown next to the checkboxes. If you are required to mail in any documentation not listed on Form 8453, you can't file the tax return electronically. This seems to say that I can't attach the POA to the 8453 along with the 2848, and therefore I can't e-file the return.
