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?

I am not an expert regarding this but I had a similar situation with social security in regards to not acknowledging POA. I was simply trying to change bank information after a move to a different state. I ended up with a very kind agent who allowed the conversation to progress after certain protocols were met.

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.

I agree, call IRS and explain that she is in a NH. That you are trying to get her info together, but SS won't release the info to you. You are also trying to get info from her employer. I read that W2s are sent to SS by Jan 31 and that 1099s are sent to IRS. It says if she is getting letters from IRS, then they have info that she had income. Looks like the IRS maybe able to help you get info you need.

File for an extension? This takes some of the pressure off as you straighten things out as PoA.

The SSA will send her mail to your sister's address. Did anyone ever change her address to the NH? Was her mail being forwarded? My husband is PoA for his mom and used our own home address on her Medicaid app so we got her 1099.

Try this SSA website:
