Unclaimed stimulus

I was given a signed power of attorney to handle anything for my fiancé who is in prison and he was given a letter from the irs basically saying they need him to verify his identity for them to release his funds, however because the prison is on a time limit being able to make those called is there anyway I am able to help or is that only left for him to do himself?

Hi @lcm000333 

 

You will need to file the power of Attorney with the IRS before you can claim or verify anything for another taxpayer.
