Note that the processing of filing a Form 1040, a Form 2848, and a Form 8453 actually results in the three filings going to three totally different processing offices of the IRS.
Best practice from previous years' experience - always file Form 8453, as noted below given the use of TurboTax which does not forward the 8453. Additionally, if you are acting as an appointed Guardian, file Form 56 with the Form 1040.
The Form 1040 goes to the normally assigned site based on state of residency where the form is scanned (assuming it was a mailed return).
The Form 2848 goes a department of the IRS known as Entity Dept. with main office in Ogden but also in Memphis and Philadelphia. This is the office, and probably the only office, that permanently retains the notice of POA.
If you are using TurboTax, the Form 8453 must go to Austin, TX, within three days of notification of acceptance from the IRS of the Form 1040 being received.
