Does signing up on this Reporting Agent Authorization for a client subject us to the same liability for payroll taxes as being on a signature card at the bank?

I don't see how it could. "reporting" agent is not the same as "paying" agent.

Actually,
it is, or at least can be. Line 15 on the form authorizes us to sign and file returns while line 16 authorizes us to make deposits and payments. But thanks anyway for prompting me to read the form (which I should have done before asking) and answer my own question -- now I believe that IRS could indeed collect from us if we fill in line 16.
Ennui indeed
-- did you swipe that from my recent vocabulary lesson? If so, angst upon you.
