If you discover an error after your return has been mailed, you may need to amend your return. The service center may correct errors in math on a return and may accept returns with certain forms or schedules left out. In these instances, do not amend your return!
However, do file an amended return if any of the following were reported incorrectly:
your filing status
your total income
your deductions or credits
Use Form 1040X (PDF), Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to correct a previously filed Form 1040 (PDF), Form 1040A (PDF), or Form 1040EZ (PDF). If you are filing to claim an additional refund, wait until you have received your original refund (you may cash that check). To avoid penalty and interest, if you owe additional tax for a current year amended return, file Form 1040X and pay the tax by April 17 of the current year.

If they just made up deductions, I'd go back and tell them to fill out an amended return for you - they should do this at no charge. That, or call the IRS and report this - tax preparers are supposed to have some ethics, apparently this one doesn't.
That said, YOU are the one responsible for the correctness of your return. So you need to get it amended to show the correct amounts. If you do this before 4/17, there won't be any problem for you.

Take your copy of the tax return and all your papers to a reputable tax preparer.
They can make the adjustments for you. It is called filing an amended return.
Explain to the new person what happened and if you continue to use them later maybe they will not charge you much at all........
Main thing is do it right away. It is too easy to get caught by the IRS and get penalties etc. Who needs that?
You must get this looked at and fixed

Go to a CPA and explain.
