Legal Question in Tax Law in Kansas

Re: My tax man messed up...

The good news is that yes, indeed, there IS something that you can do about it!

It is possible to file an amended return (1040X), correcting the errors on the original. The more difficult part, of course, will be to get the IRS to reduce your liability and penalties and to provide a refund if you were originally eligible. However, because this was an error by a "paid preparer," you may be able to claim an exception to the penalties once you file the corrected return.

This is something that you could take care of yourself - but it's also something that you shouldn't take care of yourself unless you happen to be an attorney or a CPA due to the intricacies of the tax laws and the procedural aspect of penalty abatement and amended return submission.
