My sister was placed in a nursing facility last summer. She is having memory and physical problems. I now have a POA and am digging through her finances and found that she has not paid takes for the last several years. The IRS is sending threatening letters. I am working to get info from her former employer, but the I need to get 1099's from from Social Security for the last four years. I have called several times and they do not take POA as authorization to give me that information. How can I get this info so I can get file her taxes?
If the IRS is hounding you can you contact them back and explain the situation thoroughly. I am sure there are others who have had to endure this. If you indicate an attempt to solve this issue perhaps they can give you some guidance.
