IRS Audit Question

captivated

I just got served with papers from the IRS saying that I owe them over nine hundred dollars from tax year 2009. I hate H&R block (total ripoff) and of course I used them in 2009. How the hell do I owe nine hundred bucks? They say it is owed by 4/12...considering I am in the process of bankruptcy...there's no way I can pay that. Anyone know if H&R block is responsible seeing that I paid them to prepare my taxes that year?

Don't they have a guarantee for that? I may be thinking about Turbo Tax. However, for the most part I think they should bare responsibility. They're the professionals! They charge entirely too much to be making mistakes like that!

That's what I'm thinking @mijita. I'm pretty sure they are "guaranteed"!

However, I had an issue when I used them (same yr!) And got a letter about my state taxes being incomplete. I took it back to H&R block and they're like "well, we don't know what they want us to fix."

Id bet this has to do with that.

And they wanted me to pay them to take a look at it. And I didn't have an "appointment" so they made me sit there for 2hrs. I wasn't a "priority" because they'd already gotten my money...

Oh wow! This is why I do Turbo Tax at home! Although, I don't own a business and they are pretty straight forward.

Good luck! I'm hearing of audits entirely too much this year. Hmmm...

I thought H&R block had audit support. It should be guaranteed

@mijita, right?! I only used them because it was my first year in the military and out of the house and I didn't know any better. LOL. I have done my own taxes ever since then.

@mrz_jackson, so I'm not the only one!

@davidnaadynsmama, I'm going to call them on monday. I'm pretty pissed.
