To the query, do I really want this client, I reply:

Yes, I most certainly do. Especially when it is a someone who
has been living in fear of the spouse who, after years, is
finally in jail. Especially when it is someone who has been
judged guilty until proven innocent because she "didn't
respond sooner."

I am very surprised by the moderator reply. It is an answer
I would expect from a suspicious, pessimistic Revenue Officer;
it is not the reply I would expect of someone who has supposedly
taken on the call to represent the rights of American citizens
with an open and honest belief in the protection of our rights,
such as 'innocent until proven guilty.'

I am very proud to be an advocate and a tax professional when
it means putting those would be last, first.

My question was based on the client's refusal to sign documents
for you.

Hey folks, here's a question for the other tax pros out there.

Client protests signing neither Form 900 waiver for years 91,93,
and 95 for original returns for tax years 1996 and 1997.

I could use 4506 to order copies of the original returns (and
the user fee involved, ick), but I'm wondering if I could
combine the request to the disclosure office. Can the formal
request for copy of documents include both the Form 900 and
the returns, or is it better advised to send two separate
requests? Lastly, has it been your experience that this
request should be made through FOIA (which also involves user
fees, ick)

thanks in advance
