Individual is in process of getting divorce. Because of wife's problems with DSS, husband has temporary and is trying for, and will probably get permanent custody of child.
Potential problem - Wife was tax preparer, handled all paperwork and would not allow husband access to the information. Now, she is not cooperating by giving up child's social security number, copy of past returns, etc.
Question - If husband signs POA, can the past returns be gotten from IRS? Since they were filed as MFJ, will this be denied without both signatures?
Has anyone run into this before? All advice and education appreciated.
