We got Effing Audited

ariajean · February 2010

Because our tax preparer effed up and didn't include one of J's 1099's for 2008.

I am SO P*SSED right now I could spit.

Should I go back to this guy and make him fix it for free? or find someone else?

That sucks!! I'm not sure what I would do... I would def want him to do it for free since he effed it up, but then again since he already screwed up once I would consider finding someone else. Sorry I'm no help, but good luck and hope you guys get this cleared up!

I would just find someone new and not even bother with this other guy. Hope you get this cleared up soon!

That freaking sucks! I don't think I'd go back to him but I might give a call to see if you can get some of your money back.

Ugh, that sucks. I agree with trying to find someone new.

Agreed. I wouldn't trust him to do anything anymore, but I'd at least inquire as to whether you can get money back since he screwed up. That totally sucks!

Whaaaaaaaaaaat! I would be livid! I would FOR SURE call him and ream him a new one and get your money back for what he charged you for that year. Then find someone new to fix it ;(

That really blows! Ditto pps - I would get my $ back from the loser, and I would also try to get him to pay for you to have someone else to fix it. Boo.

Son of a b*tch! I'd make him do it until it was right. Either that, or get a full-refund and go somewhere with a guarantee. Where did you find that dude?

Yep! That is seriously uncool.

He's done J's Mom's taxes for years. She's never had a problem. WAH.

Wait were you audited or did you get a notice in the mail? You can usually just respond to the notice and pay the tax due. An audit is a nasty and ugly process so I hope it's not that.

Did the preparer have a copy of the 1099 and just miss it? If so then find someone new asap.

I think it IS just a notice...whew. But still really sucky that we have to pay an unexpected amount for his mistake. I would have been happy with a smaller refund last year instead of this nonsense.

Okay good - glad it's only a notice. It's still scary to get something from the IRS with your name on it, besides a refund check.

You can try to get out of a penalty and interest if they are assessing them on you. Just write a response to the notice saying that it was an inadvertent mistake, you always pay your taxes timely, it was a one time error and anything else that you want to throw in there as long as its true. It won't change the tax due but sometimes they will reduce/eliminate the penalty and interest.
