Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have an approved role (as identified in the instructions for the employment tax return) within the
company listed above and that I've examined a copy of the electronic return and accompanying schedules and statements for the period

intermediate service provider to send the return to the IRS and to receive from the IRS (a) an acknowledgement of receipt or reason for
rejection of the transmission, (b) the reason for any delay in processing the return or refund, and (c) the date of any refund. If applicable, I
authorize the U.S. Treasury and its designated Financial Agent to initiate an electronic funds withdrawal (direct debit) entry to the financial
institution account indicated in the tax preparation software for payment of the federal taxes owed on this return, and the financial institution
to debit the entry to this account. To revoke a payment, I must contact the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 1-888-353-4537 no later than 2
business days before the payment (settlement) date. I also authorize the financial institutions involved in the processing of the electronic
payment of taxes to receive confidential information necessary to answer inquiries and resolve issues related to the payment. I've selected a
personal identification number (PIN) as the signature for the electronic return and, if applicable, the consent to electronic funds withdrawal.
