- After a test, ask Mentor AI to go through it with you: where the points went and what to study next.

You asked
What can a representative do with Form 2848 that Form 8821 does not allow?
Mentor AI
Form 2848 is a power of attorney: it lets an authorized representative, such as an Enrolled Agent, represent you before the IRS for the tax matters and years listed on it (About Form 2848 (opens in a new tab)Source [1]).
Form 8821 only lets the person you name see or receive your tax information. It does not let them represent you or speak for you (About Form 8821 (opens in a new tab)Source [2]).

How it stays honest
Built for exam prep, with guardrails
- Cites only official sources: IRS publications, forms and instructions, the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations and the Federal Register.
- Never shows questions from the VantageEA mock test bank.
- Switches off while you have a mock exam open, so it cannot help during a test.
- Shows you everything it remembers about you, and you can delete any of it.
