Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I am my brother's guardian. My brother is schizophrenic and deemed an incapacited individual. He lives in TX and I live in IL. I have to represent him in a tax matter involving his ex wife owing back taxes. My question is this: The IRS is telling me to fill out Form 2848 Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative to represent him. However, this form requires the taxpayer to sign this, authorizing me to represent him. He cannot do this. He is really, really delusional. It seems to me the more applicable form for me to fill out is Form 56, notice of Fiduciary relationship. Is anyone out there knowledgeable in this matters? Did I also mention that I have a son with autism? I guess this is the classic definition of the sandwich generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
