Well this is way off topic but you guys seem knowledgeable enough to give sound guidance. I have been Power of Attorney for my brother-in-law for about 8 months. I need to file his taxes. I can't get past taxes. I do have his W-2 from SS and his pension. His old POA is not giving up any records. She scammed him and that is why I am the POA now. Think I can contact the IRS and get past tax filings? I'm sure he could himself but he is crazier than a pet raccoon. I can't count on him to get the records for me. We are only talking about a < $1000 refund but it matters to him. I have thought about estimating his 2017 Iowa numbers where necessary and I could be fairly accurate.
