Tax Returns
Posted: Sun Apr 14, 2013 1:52 pm
I believe a former client was ripped off by his tax preparer.
A former client has complained to me that his CPA charged him double on his
tax returns this year because of his bankruptcy. His bankruptcy case was
filed, discharged and dismissed in 2012. The debtor has a solo service
business, gardening; debtor wife cleans houses. The CPA claimed he had to
file separate returns because H&W bankruptcy estates taxes are treated
separately. The client called me and I told him he was not filing a
"bankruptcy estate tax return". The CPA printed out IRS PUB 908 and
highlighted the sentence "Two separate bankruptcy estate tax returns must be
filed." And told the client to show me the underlined section. The CPA did
not highlight paragraphs that defines "bankruptcy estate income." I told
the client to find a new CPA.
