artp Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 Client's son (single) retired from the military in June 2023 and passed away in July 2023 suffering a fall while helping a friend do roof repair. The parents have power of attorney to handle the son's affairs. They have been unable to get the son's military W-2 as it is only available electronically and they do not have access. They have tried numerous military agencies, but no luck. They are now contacting their US Congressman for help. Can I get Power of Attorney to access the son's records with the IRS through them? Never run into this situation before. Any suggestions? Quote

schirallicpa Posted March 14, 2024 Report Posted March 14, 2024 Why do they make this stuff so difficult. I know - omit the W2 and see how fast they send you the corrected info. Quote
