Tulsidas is regarded as an incarnation of the great sage Valmiki. In Bhavishyottar Purana, Lord Shiva tells Parvati how Valmiki got a boon from Hanuman to sing the glories of Lord Ram in vernacular language in the Kali Yuga.
Valmiki reincarnated as Tulsidas.
"वाल्मीकिस्तुलसीदासः कलौ देवि भविष्यति |
रामचन्द्रकथामेतां भाषाबद्धां करिष्यति ||"
-Bhavishyottar Purana, Pratisarga Parva, 4.20

Nabhadas, a contemporary of Tulsidas and a great devotee(author of Bhaktamala), also describes Tulsidas as incarnation of Valmiki in his work Bhaktmaal. Even the Ramnandi sect (Tulsidas belonged to this sect) firmly believes that it was Valmiki himself who incarnated as Tulsidas in the Kali Yuga.
