Back Story:

Kane County. The clients’ close relative who also prepared returns for a large national tax return preparation company prepared our client’s tax returns on the side for several years for free. The tax return preparer took false deductions on the tax returns such as unreimbursed employee expenses, charitable contributions and medical expenses. These false deductions were taken without our clients’ knowledge and generated huge refunds. Not surprisingly, the IRS chose to audit their tax returns for 2010, 2011 and 2012. We represented the clients in the audit and minimized the changes made by the IRS. Even though the IRS could have assessed huge penalties, including the fraud penalty, we persuaded them to not do so. After the audit was over, we negotiated an installment agreement for the clients so they could pay their liability to the IRS over time with small monthly payments.
