About this episode

Eric Green discusses the circumstances under which the IRS can bypass a taxpayer's Power of Attorney and contact the taxpayer directly.

Can the IRS just ignore the taxpayer's Power of Attorney (POA) and contact the taxpayer directly? No, unless specific criteria are met. In this week's episode, Eric Green discusses why that threat from the IRS employee is probably empty, and what to do if they do in case they bypass you and go directly to your client.
