Common confusion points

Form vs. publication – taxpayers often think the form itself explains eligibility; always read the accompanying instructions

Signature authority – non‑taxpayer signers need Power of Attorney; otherwise the form is rejected

Fee requirement – some relief requests are free, others require a fee; double‑check the line item

Mailing address – the address varies by state and relief type; using the generic IRS address can cause delays

Electronic vs. paper – not all relief categories are accepted electronically; verify before scanning
