Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that the response would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below I believe from day - I have the same argument that is pretty reasonable and is the basis of this caseMehnaz herself has accepted the fact that it goes back and forth multiple times between the taxpayer and tax preparer as highlighted in the below quotes (a statement from Mehnaz herself)So my point is exactly that if the preparation goes back and forth, I have never demanded a final copy but the quote especially under the circumstances neither any business nor any taxpayer would expect a final copy if there is a substantial change in the amount of the refundMy argument and claim is plain and simple:a.) At first place any professional would not have generated the final copy if they understand that there has been a change to the amount they initially proposed (does not matter whether initial amount was proposed in hurry or whatever be the case).b.) Secondly, they should have told me at first place itself either to stop from paying the fees until they send me the fresh quote or that the payment will not be refunded if they will issue me a final copy containing whatever tax refund.This is a simple case of a deceit that you took the money at first place and then you issued a final copy and now you are claiming that since the final copy has been issued we cannot refund the feesMy simple point is did anyone ask them to generate the final copy? No, because it is a quite right assumption that they should me the final quote first before issuing/generating any final copyThey have done that without my consent.So I still believe lawfully and legally their business is not done until/unless there has been a consent from meAdding a clause that final copy was generated does not mean the right work was done.So I expect Indy Tax to refund my fees with all truthful means."It is not uncommon for tax returns to be adjusted multiple times That's how tax return preparation goes - client wants something change, tax preparer changes it It's a back-and-forth between taxpayer and tax preparer."

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I believe from day 1 - I have the same argument that is pretty reasonable and is the basis of this case. Mehnaz herself has accepted the fact that it goes back and forth multiple times between the taxpayer and tax preparer as highlighted in the below quotes (a statement from Mehnaz herself). So my point is exactly that if the preparation goes back and forth, I have never demanded a final copy but the quote especially under the circumstances neither any business nor any taxpayer would expect a final copy if there is a substantial change in the amount of the refund. My argument and claim is plain and simple:a.) At first place any professional would not have generated the final copy if they understand that there has been a change to the amount they initially proposed (does not matter whether initial amount was proposed in hurry or whatever be the case).b.) Secondly, they should have told me at first place itself either to stop from paying the fees until they send me the fresh quote or that the payment will not be refunded if they will issue me a final copy containing whatever tax refund.This is a simple case of a deceit that you took the money at first place and then you issued a final copy and now you are claiming that since the final copy has been issued we cannot refund the fees. My simple point is did anyone ask them to generate the final copy? No, because it is a quite right assumption that they should me the final quote first before issuing/generating any final copy. They have done that without my consent.So I still believe lawfully and legally their business is not done until/unless there has been a consent from me. Adding a clause that final copy was generated does not mean the right work was done.So I expect Indy Tax to refund my fees with all truthful means."It
is not uncommon for tax returns to be adjusted multiple times.  That's
how tax return preparation goes - client wants something change, tax
preparer changes it.  It's a back-and-forth between taxpayer and tax
preparer."

I believe there are errors with the client’s purchase date and problem occurred date. The purchase date should be (the date he paid for the 2013 tax return) should be on, or around, April 8, 2014. The problem occurred date should be January 7, 2016.   A reply was sent to Mr. [redacted] on January 8,...

2016 requesting him to provide us with documentation to support the items deducted on the 2013 tax return.   Mr. [redacted] replied to this email on Jan 20, 2016 stating his inability to obtain a significant amount of expense proofs.   Mr. [redacted] received another IRS notice and shared with us on May 11, 2016. The letter states that none of the expenses were allowed due to insubstantial information and documentation to support these deductions.   Mr. [redacted] was advised to pay the tax and interest the IRS is asking for since the expenses were not allowed. We filed a Form 843 to request the IRS to waive the penalties accrued. As far as we know, there has been no reply or action on this request.   We have had no contact with or from the client since May 13, 2016.   Mr. [redacted] stated in the complaint, “He convinced that he was not doing anything illegal and pledged that he will sign the return as the tax preparer which he said means that he's first in the line of fire, in case IRS took to it.”   It is true that nothing illegal was done on the tax return. It is true that the tax preparer was comfortable with the tax return, and he signed it. It is not true that any tax preparer will be the “first in the line of fire.” It is not our policy to make such claims, nor is it the policy of any accountant or tax preparer. Ultimately, the taxpayer is responsible for all items on a tax return, however, this should be irrelevant since nothing illegal was performed.   Ultimately, the taxpayer in all cases, is responsible for paying his tax liability and any and all charges of interest and penalties assessed by the IRS.   It is my opinion that the IRS audit occurred by random selection.   It is my opinion that the items deducted on the return were disallowed due to the inability to procure the appropriate documentation and expense proofs to support these items.

I am attaching an email from the tax preparer, Brian, that sums up the issues regarding Mr. [redacted]'s tax return.  Mr. [redacted] is not a tax professional and his claims regarding Brian doing the file incorrectly with itemized deduction are unsubstantiated.  Mr. [redacted] requested the itemized...

deductions be removed from his tax return - and they were.  He then received the adjusted tax return without these deductions, which significantly reduced his refund amount.  He is not happy with the new refund, but this is what he requested.Brian failed to remove the itemized deductions from the state tax file initially - this is where Mr. [redacted]'s complaint really comes in.  Brian fixed this, removed the itemized deductions from the state return, and sent a final, correct, and complete tax return to Mr. [redacted].  It is not uncommon for tax returns to be adjusted multiple times.  That's how tax return preparation goes - client wants something change, tax preparer changes it.  It's a back-and-forth between taxpayer and tax preparer.This complaint is unreasonable as our job had been completed as per Mr. [redacted]'s wishes.  He received the final return the way he wanted.  Our job has been completed.And, as per our refund policy, no refund can be issued once a completed tax return is sent to a client.  We even reduced his fee when we removed the itemized deductions as a courtesy and to comply with our standard pricing schedule.I hope this response is clear.  If any additional information is needed from us, please feel free to reach out.
