810 Freeze - Tax preparer erroneously listed delivery driver income on Line 31, Need advice on amending
Filed in February and got hit with 810 freeze in March. Just found out my tax preparer randomly put delivery driver income on line 31 which I never did. They're being sketchy about it now. Should I amend myself or find a new preparer? Getting desperate for answers since its been months now.

Tax professional here - this is serious. Your preparer made a false claim trying to get you extra credits you're not eligible for. You need to: 1) Report them to the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility 2) File Form 14157 to report preparer misconduct 3) Definitely get a new preparer and file an amendment ASAP. This kind of fraud can lead to bigger issues if not corrected.

As long as you amend quickly and document that you reported the preparer, you should be fine. Keep all communications with them too.

Hey, I highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's been a lifesaver for understanding these complex transcript issues. For $4.99 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. Way better than playing detective yourself! https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It caught an error my preparer made similar to OPs situation. The AI breaks down everything in plain English.
