I am a non-US resident contractor working for a US company in Belarus. I visit the US for 1-2 months a year. What are the current tax reporting liabilities for the company before the IRS, and how would they change if I became a minority shareholder or received stock options instead of an outright ownership stake?

I did my mom's taxes for 2015 and mailed the return around April 5th. The IRS website's "Where's my refund" tool says they have no records of it. My mom is 93 and a little senile, so she can't call the IRS herself. Does this mean they never got the return, and should I resend it? If so, where do I send it?

A potential client's fiancée, who has a green card and was a dependent of her mother in the USA, wants to apply for citizenship and then get her husband, currently in the USA on a tourist visa, approved to stay. Her immigration lawyer suggested obtaining her mother's tax returns to prove her dependent status, which could expedite her citizenship application. However, the mother may not be willing to sign a Power of Attorney to release the tax documents. Is there any way the daughter can obtain proof of her dependent status without her mother's cooperation?
