Reply to comment by Bobbyjohns in Keystone Collections trying to screw me for taxes I don't even owe by AdamFeigs

Oh yea. Not only did we file but we have a tax preparer. All the more reason that this is total fucking nonsense.

I'm going to email him tomorrow and see if he has some ideas. Thought it would be bad form to do it on Thanksgiving.

Your preparer is usually liable for errors and is insured to cover the risk. Contact them about this.

Are you sure about that? I thought the taxpayer is always ultimately responsible even if they have a preparer

At which point you'd sue the preparer for damages and forever ruin their reputation. Most would be happy to fix this and keep their names off of there public docket.

True. I was always warned to make sure we go over our taxes thoroughly, even though we have a preparer also because we’d still be liable.

This is the right take. Taxpayer has the final responsibility in the accuracy of a return. To sue your preparer typically malpractice or negligence would need to be proven for recovery.

Apologies, originally replied to the comment above yours by mistake.

Our issue was that our preparer put the wrong school code on our return. We had moved out of the county several years before we were billed for. Stupid.

Tax preparers aren’t mistake free. They messed up our taxes to the tune of $4,000 for state and $1,500 for local. Contact them and discuss this with somebody. I would even show up with the paperwork you submitted. They should take care of the issue.

I pay $2000 to get my taxes done. They never ever mention keystone it’s usually 10 to at most 100 unless you miss it. See my above comments. Keystone is completely separate you have to send in that bill if not they will fuck u.
