Catherine Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I have the woman's name and her town and even a corporation name. But I can't find her. Corporation lookup gets me incorporation date, but no web site or phone. Nothing on LinkedIn or Facebook. Nothing in the yellow pages under her corporation name or the white pages under her name. Searching on a Florida CPA site returned no results, either. Where else can I look? Anyone got any clever (or even dumb) ideas? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Posted November 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I have her name and supposed office address in Fort Myers FL. No phone number, no email. Can't find web site or phone. Very frustrating. Need to find out if prior year returns she prepared were ever filed (paperwork is not clear, and the client's husband who would have known is deceased).

Catherine Posted November 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 2848 was submitted today, so in theory I can wait a couple weeks and see if there is a return transcript for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Posted November 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 She prepared the last-known returns from her office in Florida. At this point I'll wait for the POA to be uploaded by the CAF unit, and see if there is a record of return filed for those two years. If they're filed, we're done. If they're not filed, I have prepared returns to enter in my system and I'll get them submitted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
