Answer:
You need a Durable Power of Attorney that is general and covers financial matters. If you want to limit it to specific tasks, like accessing your checking account and paying your federal income tax, you can use a Limited or Special Power of Attorney. Additionally, you can add someone as an authorized signer on your account. The IRS also provides a Special Power of Attorney form for filing tax returns, which you can find on their website.
