How do I get my records back from my CPA?

My CPA has all of my W2's and my small business records. She does our taxes every year for years, and we file late because we are never done with the business taxes by 4/15. So we always do it in October instead, after filing for an extension. But this last year she had some personal tragedies and has not answer our repeated phone calls since September 2010. We still have not filed our taxes. We thought she was dead, but as it turns out, she is alive with a tragic story about a miscarriage and that she would do right by us. But that was one phone message on 9-Dec-10. We have not heard from her since.

Can we have her arrested? All we want at this point is our records. I hate to do that. She is a nice person. or she was.

    You can send her a registered letter advising her that you will expect to receive the papers in ten days or you will be hiring a lawyer. Most likely you will have to hire a lawyer .The IRS will not care about why you do not file and will hold you responsible.

    You also have the right to make a formal complaint against her to her Institute. In the UK we have to nominate another accountant to handle the practice if we fall ill.

  • I would just call her and ask for your records. If she refuses to give them to you, then take legal action.
