Proposed Revenue Procedure For Requesting Consent To IRS Form
Use a Proposed Revenue Procedure For Requesting Consent To IRS template to make your document workflow more streamlined.
What this proposed procedure does
The Proposed Revenue Procedure For Requesting Consent To IRS Form is a written request for IRS consent when a taxpayer or organization needs approval under a specific revenue procedure. It identifies the requested action, supporting facts, and applicable tax authority for IRS review. The completed request should be accurate, complete, and retained with supporting records. signNow can convert the request into a fillable workflow, route it to designated reviewers, capture electronic signatures where legally appropriate, and preserve the executed document and audit trail for internal records.
Who works with this request
Tax departments can prepare a proposed revenue procedure consent request, collect approval from an authorized tax officer, and retain the signed request with supporting calculations and correspondence for IRS review. Tax advisers and authorized representatives can coordinate taxpayer information, explanatory attachments, and signature collection through a controlled signNow workflow before submitting the request through the channel required by the applicable IRS procedure.
Features for IRS consent requests
The workflow focuses on accurate tax-request data, controlled review, evidence of consent, and a reproducible signed record.
Field placement
Upload the proposed revenue procedure request and place fields for taxpayer details, consent language, signatures, dates, and reviewer comments without changing the document’s substantive tax content.
Signer routing
Route the request to the taxpayer, authorized representative, and internal reviewer in the required order, reducing manual forwarding and preserving each completed action.
Required fields
Use required fields for identifying information, requested consent, supporting explanation, and signature dates so incomplete submissions are easier to detect before review.
Audit trail
Capture signer identity, timestamps, IP information, and document history in an audit trail that supports later reconstruction of the request workflow.
Record storage
Store the signed request with its completion record so the organization can reproduce the document and supporting evidence when responding to IRS or internal inquiries.
Legal controls
Apply signNow’s ESIGN and UETA compliance controls to electronic signatures where the transaction is eligible, while separately reviewing IRS-specific submission and consent requirements.

Pitfalls in preparing the request
Leaving the requested IRS consent action or governing revenue procedure unidentified can make the submission difficult to evaluate and delay substantive review. Using inconsistent taxpayer names, identification details, or tax periods across the request and attachments can create avoidable clarification requests. Collecting a signature without confirming signer authority may weaken the record showing that the taxpayer or authorized representative approved the request. Submitting a signed request without retaining attachments, audit evidence, and delivery records can make later IRS correspondence difficult to answer.

Troubleshooting IRS consent requests
Use the following checks when preparing, signing, storing, or reviewing this proposed IRS consent request.
If required fields remain blank, use signNow’s required-field controls to identify missing taxpayer details, consent language, signature dates, or reviewer information before completion. The Business plan includes templates and audit trails; however, field configuration does not determine whether the IRS accepts the request under the applicable revenue procedure.
A signNow electronic signature can support eligible U.S. transactions under ESIGN and UETA when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. Confirm the applicable IRS procedure, taxpayer status, and submission method separately because electronic execution does not itself grant IRS consent.
The Business plan is listed at $8 per user per month with annual billing and includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, and templates. Its annual pricing includes 100 signature invites per user; review overage terms before routing a high-volume consent-request process.
If the request contains protected health information, signNow identifies HIPAA compliance as available with a business associate agreement. Limit access to personnel who need the information and confirm that the underlying IRS request genuinely requires the health data.
If signer identity needs stronger assurance, signNow plan options should be reviewed for available authentication controls; the Enterprise plan adds advanced signer authentication. Choose controls appropriate to the taxpayer, representative, and sensitivity of the request.
If a request is returned for clarification, preserve the original signed record, audit trail, attachments, and subsequent correspondence. Create a controlled revised version rather than overwriting the executed document, and follow the IRS procedure’s instructions for resubmission.
