Central Tax Service LLC

Hi, As a policy since 2006, we do not efile tax returns that have not been paid for As an IRS policy, tax returns can NEVER be efiled without a signed The not only gives us permission to efile, but it is the taxpayers signing under penalty of perjury that the
tax return is accurate and complete. We have had customers request we efile a tax return without us receiving our paymentWe have always turned down this requestWe have had customer request we efile a tax return without a signature We have always turned down this requestI have read the letter *** wrote to you requesting both the signature and the payment Since we did not receive payment, we were unwilling to efile the tax return I also spoke with *** about payment options for the IRS balance due He said he explained to you that you could pay what you could, and the IRS will send you a bill I think that is the exact advice I would have given youIt is only when somebody owes a significant amount that I give difference advice on this issue I believe the advice given was exactly what fit the situationIf you were expecting us to efiled a tax return without payment, we cannot change our policy We simply will not efile tax return that have not been paid for If you were expecting us to efile a tax return without a signature, we will not violate IRS rules and regulations.If the irs said a tax return is considered valid prior a taxpayer signature, the IRS did not understand your question, or they mis-understood what you were asking.Although I always try to resolve any issues a customer may have, I cannot bend on the IRS rules concerning a signature and our company rule on not filing tax returns without our payment Is there some way we can resolve this without breaking either the IRS rule or our rule of requiring payment?

I am rejecting this response because:
I have been Steve ***'s client since before the merger with Central Tax and I have never ever been required to pay for services before taxes were filed and have never ever been obligated to have Form to you before taxes filed, either. If Central Tax is going to change the arrangement/oral agreement that has been in place for several years, I should have been notified when Steve solicited us for business this year. Also, the IRS does not require that tax preparers have possession of Form 8879 before filing their client's taxes. I called the IRS and asked and was told that the form should be in tax preparer's office, but it is not required by law that tax preparers have the form before filing taxes. AND the so-called professional advice we got from Steve was also not correct. When we told him that we did not have the money we owed the IRS, the professional advice he gave us was very wrong and he offered no other options. Once he learned that we didn't have the money we owed the IRS, he panicked and was worried that we would not pay him the $we owed for services. Of course, this is purely speculation on my part, but there is no other reason that I can think of because as I've said, for many years, Steve never ever required that we paid for services before he filed our taxes. So basically, Central Tax Servis wrong in thinking Form must be on file before filing our taxes and they were wrong in not informing us or getting our approval for filing an extension. And it is wrong that $was added to our bill because for an extension that we were not told about and did not approve of

This matter was successfully resolved yesterday when Randy delivered a check for the full amount and explained in detail the error and why it happenedI am satisfied with the outcome and would probably go back there using a different tax person
