What can I do if my taxes were done with H&R Block 2 years ago and now the IRS wants me to pay?

Did H&R Block make a mistake? If so, they may still need to pay any penalties as a result of the preparer's mistake.

Why does the IRS say you owe additional money? Was income left off the return?

If the IRS is right and your taxes were filed wrong and you really did owe the money, you have to pay it - you would have had to in the first place if it had been done right, and would have to now even if you had gotten the insurance.

You could ask the IRS to waive the penalties - they might. But not the interest.

You are not disclosing WHY the IRS "wants you to pay." Apparently, there was a problem with your return. If you filed incorrectly, you are liable for the addtional tax.

You owe the tax, you pay the tax. If H&R Block had a guarantee it would be to pay any penalty and interest caused by its error.

Don't go to H&R Block again. They sit through a week long training course, and they need no other tax knowledge. As an accounting student, I have sat through many tax classes, and I would never trust H&R block to do my taxes. Go to a local CPA firm, and have them look over your return.

Get another accountant to look over the figures. And if the government is right, they will let you pay so much per month.

They just want your money, not your hide.

Get an accountant who stands behind his work. Let the new person go over your return and see if there is really a outstanding debt.

hire lawyer.
