Trying to file for a person for whom I have a POA (but not a 2848). Had a medical incident last year. We started a paper return at the time while he was still almost entirely incapacitated (out of uncertainty with how to efile), but he has recovered enough now to be able to somewhat sign his own name poorly. It's not particularly recognizable and it certainly wouldn't match any previous years'.
If he were to sign the document himself, are there any other documents that I should include with the return? An explanation of the signature? Our POA anyway? Or is the best bet to use our POA to fill out a 2848 and sign myself?
Thanks!
