samingeorgia Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 At the Tax Forum in Atlanta last year, one of the speakers said that you could go to the IRS website and find out what 2848's are in effect on your CAF number, and that it's a good idea to terminate the POA if the clients have moved on or you don't do their work any more. I looked at the IRS site and couldn't figure out how to do that. A few years ago, I get a referral of a brother-in-law of a client who evidently had some substance abuse issues and had IRS breating down his neck. I got the POA and the client (clean and sober at the time) and I set up a payment plan with IRS. Now, evidently, he has lost his job or has somehow stopped making payments. I haven't seen the "client" in two or more years, don't really know how to contact him, and don't want to possibly compromise disclosure issues by hunting him through his in-laws. Anybody have any ideas? Quote
Bill (Wisconsin) Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Grab the Instructions for form 2848 -- on page 2 there is a heading for "Revocation of Power of Attorney / Withdrawal of Representative". Bill Quote
