Tax question....dont worry it is not that boring....go ahead and answer it....?
How come I had a friend go to H&R block and they told him that he owed $200 dollars for the year. He didnt like that answer so he went to someone called "the tax doctor" and he ended up getting $1,500 back! Do you think this "tax doctor" is doing something illegal? What do you think about the situation? If you were me would you go to the Tax doctor?

The problem could be with either of them, or with both of them. H&R Block has some very good preparers and some that aren't good, so yes, it's possible they did something wrong on the return. It's also possible that the "tax doctor" is filing fraudulently, in which case your friend could be in major trouble down the line.

If the "tax doctor" has fees that depend on how much he gets back for you, I'd worry a lot. If his fees are fixed depending on the number of forms filed, or the time it takes to do your return, then maybe the problem was H&R.

If the person showed the H&R return to the tax doctor and he didn't explain why it was wrong, then I'd suspect the tax doctor. That's a huge amount of difference - there should have been some very major item or items that made up the difference, and any preparer worth working with would have showed your friend where the discrepancy was.

I'd be very cautious about going to the tax doctor, but neither would I go to H&R Block. If you're not able to do your own, go to a CPA or enrolled agent. If your return is pretty simple, you can probably do your own by reading the instructions.

Is the "tax doctor" a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax attorney? My gut feeling is that the "tax doctor" is doing something illegal by inflating or creating deductions that don't exist in order to get his clients big refunds. Unscrupulous preparers do this because their clients will tell their friends, and they will tell their friends, and so on and before long he will have a huge client list and be making tons of money himself. Once the IRS catches on to this, they will audit a majority, if not all, of his clients and the clients, not the "tax doctor," will wind up having to pay the IRS back, plus interest and penalties.

I'm not a fan of H&R Block or any of the other chains either. I would suggest hiring a CPA or enrolled agent to prepare your return. Although there is no licensing requirement for a person to prepare a tax return, CPA's and enrolled agents are generally more experienced, better trained, and stand to lose their CPA or enrolled agent credentials if they prepare fraudulent tax returns.

You have not given us enough information. What did the so-called tax doctor do differently from H&R Block?


Samantha
Personally I feel the Tax Doctor did the return properly. I learned a few years back the IRS or H&R Block will not tell you exactly what you can claim further on your taxes.
I do however believe H&R Block representatives are not trained properly.

I used HR Block last year and for the first time in my life, I owed money (over $500!). I think those people are not trained properly. I've never heard of a tax doctor though.

You should have a CPA in a public accounting firm prepare your tax return. I've seen way too many errors in tax returns that H&R Block prepared. The "tax doctor" sounds iffy to me, but I have not heard of that before.

It could be that the "Tax Doctor" is more competent and knew what he was doing....

I'd go to the Tax Doctor. If there's a problem, they are required by law to back you up if the IRS audits you.

I think the problem is H&R Block. I had my taxes done there one year and recieved $250, when I talked to a professor teaching tax preparation at the college I attended, he offered to review them and ended up doing an addendum and I recieved almost $3200 more

We went to H&R Block once a few years ago. I took the forms home and found several mistakes. They were not at all thorough. He should look over the forms very carefully and be sure they make sense to him. If they don't, he needs to go back and ask questions. If they are wrong, even if he paid someone else to do them, he will be responsible for any penalties and consequences.
