- Q. I am taking my previous tax attorney to small claims court for what I think is excessive billing with no results on a
- A: Hi!
Few things, if you requested access to the case file and had authorization, being your parents’ issue not yours, then an attorney must provide access.
When it comes to submitting POAs to the IRS I would confirm whether the issue was on the attorney’s end or the IRS’. From experience I have noticed that the CAF unit (where POAs are processed) can take months to fully process an POA. I have actually had instances where it just was never done on their end for whatever reason. I however keep fax confirmation for proof I did submit the POAs.
It’s not uncommon for an attorney to request more funds outside of a retainer. I would review your contact regarding fees.
- Q. I haven't filed taxes in several years. Should I file 2024 or will I first have to go back and file past years?
- A: If you possess a filing requirement then you will need to file your back taxes. This will depend on income earned and filing status (single, married filing joint, etc). If you are unsure of the income earned for your missing tax periods you can request a wage and income transcript from the irs.

So generally speaking, if you are missing returns outside of that six year timeframe, you will not have to file them. Although unlikely, it is possible the IRS will require these returns to be filed in the future. So if you are missing prior to 2019 you may ... Read More
- Q. Can an attorney for billing for time on hold with the IRS only to request a call back?
- A: An Attorney can bill for their hold time if it is considered a part of their working time.
Within my firm, we often call the IRS and experience very long hold times even when using the particular practitioner line. We bill for the hold time unless we are disconnected during that hold and are unable to work on the case (i.e., talking to a representative, requesting a call back, submitting a form etc.). During the hold time, I review the specific clients case/ documents and take notes on the reason behind the call. Even if I am unsuccessful in getting through to a representative, if I am actively working or engaging in the case during that time, it makes sense to bill.
However, I would ... Read More
