This law says who can administer oaths and certify papers needed under tax law: designated Treasury Department staff, and anyone else already allowed to administer oaths under federal, state, or D.C. law.
(a) Treasury staff. Any Treasury Department officer or employee* the Secretary* designates can administer oaths or affirmations and certify papers needed under internal revenue laws or their regulations.
(b) Others. Any oath or affirmation required or allowed under internal revenue law or its regulations can also be given by anyone already authorized to administer oaths generally, under the law of the United States, a state, a U.S. possession, or the District of Columbia — wherever the oath is given. This does not mean these are the only people who may administer such oaths.
Every officer or employee* of the Treasury Department designated by the Secretary* for that purpose is authorized to administer such oaths or affirmations and to certify to such papers as may be necessary under the internal revenue laws or regulations made thereunder.
Any oath or affirmation required or authorized under any internal revenue law or under any regulations made thereunder may be administered by any person authorized to administer oaths for general purposes by the law of the United States, or of any State or possession of the United States, or of the District of Columbia, wherein such oath or affirmation is administered. This subsection shall not be construed as an exclusive enumeration of the persons who may administer such oaths or affirmations.
