If the Innate Attack is part of a Power, than that Power Talent always adds to the roll:

Talents cover both Attribute rolls and skill rolls.

Example: Healing is based on IQ. If the GM requires skills to use psi powers, a psychic healer with Healing must roll against Healing (IQ/Hard) to use his ability – or at IQ-6 if untrained. In either case, his Healing Talent gives a bonus.
Skill or Attribute, it makes no difference.
