not sure I'll accept this client but...
Ex wife has a durable POA on ex-hubby. It includes "Tax matters"
I think she has to have a 2848 on file - but she insists that they have been doing it this way for years.
I think she signs his name on the 8879 - but don't know that for a fact.
question
a) can she sign his name... If not does she sign her name followed by POA.
b) does the Durable go with the tax return.
he has owed a bit for the last few years. And she writes the check. Apparently he has drug issues etc etc.
