PDO Employer Informational Packet
What is it for?
This form tells the IRS that you are going to be an
employer and is used to obtain an Employer
Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. This EIN
is used to open state employer accounts and
designate all tax deposit and filing responsibility to
PPL.
Why isn’t my address listed on lines 4a and
4b?
Lines 4a and 4b ask for the mailing address to be
attached to this employer account. PPL does not
intend to burden you with IRS paperwork. By establishing PPL’s address as the mailing
address on your employer account, PPL ensures that you will not receive IRS paperwork
relating to this program at your home.
Who are the people listed in the ‘Third Party Designee’ section?
Those are PPL staff members who are experienced obtaining EINs on behalf of Individual
Employers. These three individuals are the only people who can obtain an EIN on your
behalf.
What lines do I complete?
PPL has completed the SS-4 in a way that notifies the IRS that even though you will be
the official employer of your service providers, you will be using PPL to file and deposit
your employer taxes. If you have applied for an EIN in the past, complete lines 16a, 16b
and 16c. You also must sign and date the bottom of the form.

PDO Employer Informational Packet
What is it for?
This form tells the IRS that you give PPL permission to
do some work for you. By signing this form, you
authorize PPL to withhold taxes from your
employees’ paychecks and deposit those taxes with
the IRS. With this form, you delegate the employer
tax responsibility to PPL.
If I appoint you as my agent with the IRS Form
2678, what will you be able to do?
The IRS Form 2678 only allows us to withhold taxes
from your employee’s paychecks and deposit those
taxes to the IRS. This form is only recognized by the
IRS; other tax agencies do not recognize this form.
The 2678 does not authorize us to perform any other
tax responsibilities.
What liability does PPL take on when I sign the 2678?
The IRS Form 2678 subjects PPL to all provisions of law, including penalties that the
employer incurs. When you authorize PPL as your agent with Form 2678, PPL is
responsible by law for correctly representing you. PPL incurs any penalties of misfiling
or incorrectly depositing your employer taxes.
Does the IRS Form 2678 authorize you to file my personal income taxes?
No. PPL only deposits withholding taxes for your employees. PPL cannot handle any of
your personal income tax matters.
What sections do I complete?
Most of this form is completed. All you need to do is review, sign, and date the form,
and return it to PPL.

account with the IRS?
