Need help managing your business taxes? This guide walks you through the process of authorizing Kintsugi as your tax representative using a Power of Attorney (POA) if necessary.


Step 1: Check If You Can Share Your State Tax Credentials

Some states allow businesses to grant access by sharing tax login credentials. Here’s how to check:

1. Contact your state’s Department of Revenue

State

Abbreviation

Phone Number

Notes

Texas

CA

(800) 400-7115

Press 1 for English, 1 for Sales & Use Tax, Choose your question/issue and get to a representative (To repeat options press 8).

2. Request your business tax login credentials: username and password.

3. Complete any required verification steps.

If your state provides login credentials, share them with Kintsugi so we can begin managing your tax filings. If not, proceed with authorizing Kintsugi through a Power of Attorney POA.


Step 2: Fill Out the Power of Attorney Form

If credentials aren’t available, you’ll need to complete a POA form to allow Kintsugi to handle your business tax matters.

  1. Download the correct POA form here: Form 01-137 Texas Limited Power of Attorney

  2. Gather the necessary details for both your business and Kintsugi before completing the form. See Step 3 for obtaining required information from Kintsugi, which includes the representative information.

  3. Specify the tax types and periods covered by the POA.

  4. Sign and date the form as required by the state.

  5. Notarization is not required for the state of Texas.


Step 3: Get Required Information from Kintsugi

Before submitting the POA, ensure you have the following details from Kintsugi:

  • Agent Legal Name

  • 11-digit Texas Taxpayer

  • Relationship to Taxpayer (Attorney, CPA, tax return preparer, etc.)

  • Contact Name

  • Address (Street, City, State, and Zip code)

  • Email Address

Important:

  • Officers, directors, members, general partners and managers who are individuals, not other legal entities, listed on a taxpayer’s most recently filed Public Information Report;

• General partners or trustees who are individuals, not other legal entities, listed on a taxpayer’s most recently filed Ownership Information Report;

• Other individuals, authorized in accordance with the taxpayer’s governing documents, must provide written proof of such authorization with the LPOA.

  • The taxpayer must sign and date the POA form. Kintsugi representatives are not required to sign. Incomplete forms missing signatures or dates will be returned.


Step 4: Submit Your POA Form

Once completed, submit your POA form to the appropriate state tax agency.

  • Follow your state’s submission guidelines (e.g., online, fax, or mail).
