UPDATE to Dec 21 Post: IRS E-Services Portals Unavailable until Jan 6

As an update to our previous post from December 21, the IRS has announced that the e-Services’ Transcript Delivery System, Disclosure Authorization and Electronic Account Resolution systems will be unavailable for three additional business days - returning to operation on January 6, 2013.

During this time, you will be unable to request transcripts, submit a new Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, or use Electronic Account Resolution. The IRS encourages users to hold their transactions until the system is once again operational.
