[QUOTE="Darhawk, post: 508360, member: 7766"] First advice...........have another preparer look over your return and refile. I've been audited three times and in each instance the folks at IRS were competent and not bad to work with. In each instance the problem was missing info (1099s) on their part, that I had in file and provided to them. The worst was a $10,000 mistake that they said I owed, but end in the end they owed me $6,500. You'll never get a thank you or apology from them, but the check was nice. Now to answer your question. Yes, had a bad one. When I divorced my wife, during the negotiation, I accepted her lawyer's recommendation of tax preparer. It was a mistake, but has since been corrected. My learned lesson was to seek out a preparer that is well experienced in your profession. I now use folks that only do ranchers/farmers and no one else. I pay for this expertise, but in the long run the benefits (tax breaks) are mine. As you would not go to a hair dresser to repair your plumbing, so not go to a jack-of-all-trades tax preparer to do a ranch/farm return. [/QUOTE]
