Tax Preparer Errors

Today TaxMama hears from H A in the TaxQuips Forum who is very nervous. (Let me paraphrase the question.) “Her tax preparer made significant errors in her 2010 tax return.

She didn’t get to see it before he efiled it.

Now, she wants to know if she’s going to get audited and what other trouble she might have as a result of his errors.”

Dear H A,

I am so sorry your preparer was so careless.  However, it IS good that you have become familiar with the importance of reviewing your tax returns before they are filed.  Never let anyone file anything for you until after you have seen it.

Do NOT sign the Form 8879 until you have reviewed your tax return.  

As to your fears?

I don’t know if you will be audited due to these errors. You don’t explain what the errors were, or how major they are. However, just by filing the amended return, you are going to be involved in a mini audit. The 1040Xs are all reviewed by live, breathing IRS agents, not computers. So be sure that all proofs are enclosed with your amended return so the IRS examiners have everything they need to complete their review of your amendment.  

Typically though, this should not generate any further audits.

You will be fine. It’s a good experience to have – once.
