Affidavit Requirements
A transmitter, service bureau, paying agent, or disbursing agent (all hereafter referred to as “agent”) may sign Form 6466 on behalf
of the payer (or other person required to file), if the conditions in items 1 and 2 are met:
1. The agent has the authority to sign the form under an agency agreement (oral, written, or implied) that is valid under state law.
2. The agent signs the form and adds the caption “For: (Name of payer or other person required to file)”.
The authorized agent’s signing of the affidavit on the payer’s behalf does not relieve the payer of the responsibility for filing a correct,
complete, and timely Form 6466, with attachments, and will not relieve the payer of any penalties for not complying with those requirements.
