How do I designate my accountant to act as an intermediary in the process of obtaining federal and state wage tax credits?

An intermediary, such as an accountant or a management consultant, may act on behalf of an employer in the certification process. However, in order to act as an intermediary, the New York State Department of Labor must be provided with a notarized Power-of-Attorney. The Internal Revenue Service Form 2848, Power-of-Attorney and Declaration of Employer Representative, may be used for this purpose.
