What Happens When Your Tax Return Is Wrong?

MOBILE, AL. – It’s not uncommon for a tax preparer to guarantee their work. But do they guarantee it in writing? The risk taxpayers take with tax professionals is that some pros bail when it comes down to handling an IRS mess. Tax professional Richard Lindsey shares a word of caution. 

"Often we hear of taxpayers getting IRS letters, only to find out later that their tax preparer just never addressed it. Then we know of other tax preparers who will manage an IRS audit for you, but they’ll charge you a small fortune to get the job done. But really, the worst stories are situations where a taxpayer tried to handle an IRS letter themselves, mainly because they didn’t get support from their tax preparer. The end result is that there’s this big IRS mess that the person has to continually fight with.” Lindsey explained.
      
It could happen to anyone. This is why a guarantee is so important, and having it in writing becomes a necessary precaution.

 “Look for things in a guarantee like, accuracy of your tax return, speed of service, and ongoing IRS protection. On the latter, make sure the guarantee is good even years after filing. This will allow you to rest easy knowing your tax preparer will, without fail, stand behind you in case of an audit,” Lindsey added.
