how often have a professional tax preparer forgot to send all w 2 forms when filing a person income tax return

Question

My best friend referred me to her so "called best tax man ever" and he failed to include my primary source of income as taxable wages on my w2 form. Because of this I am only getting 300.00. I had my taxes admended which costed me more money to have the taxes redone. So how often does this happen?

Answer 1

It happens - but that sounds pretty sloppy. Assuming that you had given him that W-2, and it was his mistake, he should have prepared the amended return without charging you.

When you looked at the return and signed it, didn't the totals look a little funny to you? You are responsible for reviewing your return for accuracy. If the mistake was some very complicated tax issue, missing an error could be understandable, but this was something you should have caught, so sounds like you have a share of the responsibility here.

Answer 2

you will could desire to record an amended return after the present one you filed has been widely used by the IRS. An amended return takes 8-12 weeks to technique and could't be carried out electronically. this is the help I recieved from TaxAct.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Find someone who is competent. Mine hasn't made an error in 20 years
