Is An Irs Poa Was Legally Necessary To File Or Can Someone Use A Military Special Poa To File My Taxes?

Date : February 7th, 2010Category : Tax Attorney Long IslandAuthor : Editor3 Comments

I was told that there is an IRS power of attorney that is necessary to file taxes. If someone used a military special power of attorney to file my taxes, is it still legally valid or is it illegal.

    You can have someone file your taxes on your behalf without the use of a POA.
    An executed POA authorizes a specified individual (ie. attorney, CPA, enrolled agent) to represent you before the IRS – see form 2848:http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f2848.pdf

    The IRS will accept the military POA–these almost always have the extra wording that they can be used for all current tax matters.

    tehhnically I believe pretty much anyone can file your taxes if you are nable to sign you can file electronically through turbo tax- assign a POA, closest living relative can sign theIr name, PROVIDING THEY ARE NOT A MINOR OR IN MINORS ACT WHICH IS ANYONE UNDER 21 OR 24 WHO IS A FT COLLEGE STUDENT AND CLAIMED BY ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL. and explain situation as long as it is deposited or paid by you, you probably qualify with Intuit or turbo tax to file for free and if you entered this question you probably have access to www- if any iinfo is incorrect I apoligize but options are providecd and none of the suggestions are considered fraud and will end up guidin g you to the right place. The IRS POA is not your only alternative and is a way for them to make money just like any other business. I have worked with accountants, in accounting office, and double majored in accounting as secondary degree but left in 3 rd year of collede but do have a 2 year degree. I have also prepared and reviewed taxes on a professional level in prep for accountants signature as they are bonded and have never had a problem with any recource- PS – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES TO OUR COUNTRY- OUR PRAYERS AE WITH YOU FOR A SAFE RETURN TO YOUR FAMILY- ALL OF US
