Thanks but wonder why is PM (Property manager) asking for me to sign?

I have my CPA who takes care Of filing taxes

I just google that form and it looks like a representation authorization form so no you don’t need that to file taxes. It looks like you would use that form if you needed your CPA to talk to the AZ tax department on your behalf or something similar like an audit.

Also do PMs need to coordinate for anything with the state’s department of revenue like with AZDOR in this case?
