What is 2624?
Form 2624, Consent for Third Party Contact, authorizes the IRS to contact someone else on your behalf, most often the issuer of an information return like a Form W-2 or 1099, to verify or correct the income and withholding they reported. It typically comes up when you receive an IRS notice about a mismatch and have been unable to get the payer to fix the document themselves.
The consent is specific: you name the third party, describe the tax form and year involved, and sign. It is narrower than a power of attorney; it lets the IRS reach out to the named contact about the listed items, nothing more.
Who files 2624?
- Taxpayers responding to an IRS underreporter notice about income they believe was misreported
- People whose employer or payer issued an incorrect W-2 or 1099 and will not correct it
- Anyone the IRS has asked to provide written consent before contacting a bank or payer
- Taxpayers who want the IRS to verify information directly with the source
How to fill out 2624
- Enter your name, address, Social Security number, and daytime phone number.

Frequently asked questions
When would the IRS ask me for Form 2624?
Most often during a document-matching inquiry, when the income a payer reported does not match your return. If you cannot get the payer to issue a corrected form, the consent lets the IRS contact them directly.
Is this the same as a power of attorney?
No. Form 2848 lets a representative act for you before the IRS, and Form 8821 lets someone receive your tax information. Form 2624 only authorizes the IRS to contact a specific third party about specific items.
Where do I send the completed form?
To the IRS office working your case. Use the mailing address or fax number shown on the notice or correspondence that asked for the consent.
