§ 31.107 - Execution of Form 5630.5.

The return of an individual proprietor shall be signed by the proprietor; the return of a partnership shall be signed by a member of the firm; and the return of a corporation shall be signed by a duly authorized officer thereof: Provided, That any individual, partnership, or corporation may appoint an agent to sign in his behalf. In each case, the person signing the return shall designate his capacity as “individual owner,” “member of firm,” “agent,” “attorney-in-fact” or, in the case of a corporation, the title of the officer. Receivers, trustees, assignees, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives who continue the business of a dealer by reason of death, insolvency, or other circumstances, shall indicate the fiduciary capacity in which they act. Returns signed by persons, as agents or attorneys-in-fact, will not be accepted unless, in each instance, the principal named on the return has executed a power of attorney authorizing such person to sign the return, and such power of attorney is filed with the TTB officer with whom the Form 5630.5 is required to be filed. Form 11 shall be verified by a written declaration that the return has been executed under the penalties of perjury.
