Abstract: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6061 provides that any return, statement, or other document submitted under the IRC’s provisions must be signed in accordance with the forms or regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary). Also, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 204(c) authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of applications for basic permits issued under the Act. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations require individuals signing documents and forms filed with TTB on behalf of an applicant or principal to have specific authority to do so. As such, applicants and principals use form TTB F 5000.8, Power of Attorney, to delegate such authority to a designated individual and to report that delegation to TTB. Many documents and forms submitted to TTB are legally binding and have penalties for omissions or falsification, and TTB uses the collected information to determine who legally represents an applicant or permittee doing business with the agency.
