Reply to comment by TheBeesSteeze in My husband and I owe 22k in taxes but we only made a combine total of 75k by one-eye-owl

You're putting words in my mouth, and making some assumptions that aren't valid. I didn't say any of that. Agreed that an attorney or a well-reputed tax accountant is a good idea, if it looks like they will be on the hook for this massive sum. But, a no-cost option for initial comparison is a wise minimum before proceeding, and there definitely are red flags about the current preparer, at least from what OP has shared.

Have a nice night.

You literally said the opposite earlier. My point was that they should get a second professional consult if they are about to pay the $25,000.

Anyways, glad we agree now. Cheers.
