I am filing an amended 2021 taxes for my mother who is in a nursing home and I have a durable power of attorney. I need to sign the 1099-X but as I understand I need my POA and 2848 form. I find the 2848 to be extremely confusing. When filling out the 2848 form, I'm confused about lines 2 and 7.
Line 2: Representatives: Do I need to fill this line out since I am not authorized to practice in front of the IRS or should I leave this blank?
Line 7: It appears that this is to only be completed by the taxpayer. Is that correct? Should I leave this blank?
