The case is more funny than anything and shows how idiotic bureaucracies can be. But I am taking over/unders on how long before he gets audited.
Summary: IRS tells company that their accountant can't discuss matters on their behalf. Except that the accountant -- IS the company (a sole proprietorship).

I wouldn't hire that guy to shred an old tax return of mine. All he had to do was file a Form 2848 granting himself power of attorney for the company. Then the IRS would have spoken to him on behalf of the company.
Also, he can not be an employee of his company if it is a sole proprietorship. Why would he be filing payroll tax reports for a company without employees? It is possible that the company is an LLC taxed as an S-corp., but then that is not the same thing as a sole proprietorship. And any reputable tax and payroll person should know that you don't claim to be the owner of an S-corp. You claim to be an officer.
Bottom line, this isn't the IRS fault. This is the fault of the idiot who thinks he understands the tax code.

It may be that he is an S-Corp. Either way, he's the only person in the company.
But why would a company have to grant power of attorney to its sole owner and sole employee?

Based off my various dealings with them, they are INSANELY strict with confidential information.

Well, except when Harry Reid or Obama's field troops need that info to cast shadows on their "enemies"
