SO ROY BARNES ACCOUNTANT MISSED $7000........

[AcworthDad]

Pubby, all I can speak to is my own personal experience having just lived to tell about an IRS audit of my 2007 and 2008 returns. According to the IRS the accountant did make an error which will cost ME approx $250. However, that doesn't absolve me of the guilt of the error or the payments due. Guess who's responsibility it is to review the return prepared by the accountant? MINE! Does the IRS think I attempted to defraud them? No. They didn't even suggest that. All they really care about is if I pay the $250, including the penalties and interest which will continue to accrue daily until they receive the check. Oh, and for the record, the IRS rep I had was awesome!

 

BTW, I haven't even looked at Barnes' disclosed tax returns. Not even the one that is the topic of this thread.

 

But, you're honest. Barnes is a trial lawyer - 'nuff said.
