Q: I noticed my tax lady has omitted and reported smaller amount that what I have actually paid. what can i do?
I am having issues this year. She has failed to include some items. She has been judging, insulting, and humiliating me. I sent her a check over the mail and after a couple of weeks she texts me degrading and humiliating saying i never did and insults me mostly through text and email. I told her I would send her another one, but instead she threatened to take me to court and continue with her degrading and unprofessional and rude behavior questioning my demeanor. I checked all my taxes from previous years and notice that she hasn't reported what I have paid her. she reports less. she charged me $450 but the summary of all she reported, I noticed she reported 350 and same thing last year. the previous, she omitted the entire amount I paid her. I have all the texts she sent aside from the mean and nasty calls.
A: Depending on the type of tax returns she prepares for you; the tax preparation fee may not have a material impact on the tax liability. Ask her to determine the tax impact of all the items left out, and amend the returns accordingly. On a separate note; why would you work with someone you described?
