Contacting IRS re discharge of taxes
Hi, Jim: Try calling 213-576-4400 and speak to the appropriate agent
handling that debtor's last name. I don't think you need a power of attorney here.
Let them know there is a stay violation issue. I think they will correct the
problem quickly.

True, but try calling the local special procedures department first. They are still there (at least the one in Laguna Niguel is). The Insolvency Unit in Philadelphia has NO concept of bankruptcy, even though that's what they're doing there. The people that work in special procedures, such as Sam Marvin and, formerly Gary Baddin (now with the OUST), are very knowledgeable.

Dear Jim,
The IRS bankruptcy unit is now in Philadelphia. My experience tells me that you will not be able to discuss your client's case without having a power of attorney (Form 2848 - available at www.irs.gov) on file. You must include your CAF number (it's your IRS practitioner's ID number) in the form. If you do not have a CAF number, you'll need to get one. Call the practitioner's hotline at 866.860.4259 to get started. The person you talk to will assign you a CAF number to use in all subsequent dealings with the IRS.
In addition, the agent will give you a fax number where you must fax your power of attorney (there isn't just one number - you have to fax it to the fax machine where your interlocutor is). Once the power of attorney is in the system the agent will give you the number of the person handling your client's case.
Finally, the lien unit in Cincinnati may have information on the matter. The number there is 800.913.6050, but they will not talk to you without a POA on file.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
Nick

Dear Group:
Our client's pre-BAPCPA Chapter 7 bankruptcy was filed in July 2005 and discharged in April 2006. The case was filed primarily to discharge 1999 federal income taxes, and there were no intervening bankruptcies or other events which would make them nondischargeable. Now the client has received a Notice of Intent to Levy letter from the IRS for these 1999 taxes. He says that when he called the contact number listed, he was told that federal tax debt is not dischargeable. My question for the group: is there a specific bankruptcy department / contact number in the IRS I can call to get this straightened out? Will they require a Power of Attorney to even speak with me?

That's the standard response with the IRS. You will need a Form 2848 for the POA. They will not talk to you otherwise if there is no BK pending at this time. You can fax it over and they will talk to you then.
Samuel Marvin is the contact person in LA re: BK and IRS taxes.

You need to talk to the special procedures department. Where was the case filed? In LA the number used to be 213-576-4400. You shouldn't need POA if you are attorney of record on the BK, but you might.
