FAQ: Do I Need to Sign Over Power of Attorney to my Tax Resolution representative?
Thanks to everyone who made it out to Law Day 2008 at Whittier College.
I conducted 3 seminars on IRS solutions and my good friend and associate Bill Handel conducted a LIVE broadcast of his show, “Handel on the Law.”
Bill fielded some great questions from the public. There was one in particular concerning power of attorney that may be of interest to many of you and I wanted to share his response.
Bill talked to a caller who was really apprehensive about signing over power of attorney to the tax resolution company that was going to represent her.
He explained to her that the only way they would have the authority to represent her is if she signed the power of attorney. How else can they walk into the IRS and fight for on your behalf?
You must file Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, with the IRS office where you want your representative to act for you.
The caller was also worried about the tax resolution company having no guarantees about the outcome of her case. And Bill said that’s because there’s no way any firm could guarantee what the IRS will do.
All you can do is hire a pro with a proven track record.
While there’s never a guarantee, Bill Handel endorses Tax Resolution Services. You can’t get better than this,” he says.“I would trust them to do it for me.”
