It would be a great time saver to have the ability for taxpayers to sign a 7216 after reviewing their return.

Wouldn't you have your client sign that at the start of your engagement?

If you are thinking that this is applicable to Audit Protection Service, wouldn't this also depend on whether you outsource the notice review/response to this external service provider behind the scene, with you fronting the client (which should probably require it) or your client buys the protection through you and contact the service provider directly (which should render the disclosure irrelevant)?

I don't use their services and probably never will trust the handling of notices for our returns with an external service provider but that would be my take based on my understanding of how it works, without reviewing the T&C's.
