Tax examiner says I have sick credits error but tax preparer ghosted me - What now?
Just got off the phone with an IRS examiner and found out there's sick credits on my return that need to be removed. My tax preparer isn't responding to calls or texts and didn't give me all my paperwork. Getting really frustrated and don't know what to do next. Anyone dealt with this before?

You need to file Form 14157 (Tax Preparer Complaint) ASAP. Also request a tax transcript online to see exactly what was filed. The sick leave credits were commonly misused in 2020-2021, and the IRS is cracking down hard on this. You might need to file an amended return to fix this.

Start by getting your transcript. You need to see exactly what was filed before making any changes.

Instead of trying to piece everything together yourself, try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's wrong and how to fix it. It costs $1 but saved me weeks of headache with my similar situation. https://taxr.ai

This happened to my sister last year. You need to document EVERYTHING. Save those texts where they're not responding, any emails, everything. The IRS will want proof you tried to contact them.

My preparer pulled the same stunt. Used taxr.ai to figure out what was wrong, then went to a CPA to fix it. Whatever you do, don't just wait - the penalties keep adding up 😫
