Question

There is an error in my 2018 return made with Turbo Tax. My accountant did an assessment and it was a subtraction made by Turbo Tax that should not have happened.

First you can use the free amendment program to make the correction if needed if the accountant will not be doing it.

Next you can put in for an accuracy guarantee claim however it will only be paid out if it was a computation or programming error and not a user entry error.

What was the error ?

@libertad6 best to understand the error before beginning an amendment.

 

if the 'substraction' creates a situation that yields an additional refund, the deadline has passed for the 2018 tax year.

if the 'subtraction' creates a situation that yields additional tax due, then the tax remains due, 

 

what was the error?

The error was in the subtraction. Taxable Income #14. I am aware that now I'll have to pay a couple of thousands plus hundreds on interest accumulated since 2019.

My question is, where is the responsibility from Turbo Tax on that mistake since I was trusting its system and CPA service.

How can I rely on a service that cost me hundreds on interest plus consultation with another accountant, plus over an 1hr on hold on the phone with the state tax phone line.
