I received Notice Number CP49 for a taxpayer unknown to me.
I called the IRS and learned that they think I have a POA for this person, they gave me the state this person resides in. I told them I did not have this person's POA and that this person is unknown to me. I located the taxpayer to advise him that I received the notice, evidently he is represented by counsel and has an ongoing dispute with the IRS. What really bothers me is how on earth I become associated with this taxpayer.... Secondly, this type of error could cause a taxpayer grief because of the information on the notice...
The IRS said that I should send them a letter disclaming a POA for this person. Should I???? What would you do were you in my shoes?
