So I get home and the wife says she’s got bad news: A letter from the IRS saying we owe $4,000 on our 2018 taxes.

Apparently, she sent all the right paperwork to our tax preparer, but when the preparer returned the completed forms she forgot to include one. My wife failed to check that and signed the return (and got me to sign off, trusting her) and sent it off.

So here we are. My wife is afraid I’m going to divorce her. (I’m not.)

Anyone have an experience like this? Do we have any recourse? That 4 Grand could buy a lot of Super Bowl swag.

Is it a fine or is it just paying stuff that you would have paid anyway? I think you might be able to get them to forego some interest and maybe some penalties, but you won't get out of any actual taxes.

Can you send an amended return with the forgotten form included?

Taxation is theft

Also does your preparer have some kind of "we'll help if if we fucked up" kind of guarantee?

Chuck some tea into the nearest large body of water and beat the shit out of every British person you come across.

4k is NOTHING compared to what we have had to pay before. 37K was the most we have ever owed. That one HURT. Biggest return ever was 28k.

That’s what I’m hoping, too. Waiting to hear from her. Just wondering if anyone here knows.
