In 2006, I went to H&R Block with a 2006 1040 tax form that I had prepared in order to see if they could do better as far as taxes owed. Mr. Del Bene took all of my forms and other tax information,prepared a new 1040 that was much better than my original one, and gave me a bill. When questioned how he could save me so much money, he said that H&R Block did not make mistakes and that I could have "peace of mind" that H&R Block would represent me at any IRS meeting and would pay for any additional taxes,penalties and interest.
This year, the IRS sent me a form stating that my 2006 return was incorrect and that 3 sources of income(Mr. Del Bene was given all 1099 forms) were not reported. Ms. Sunny Caswell of the Westerly,R.I. office could not explain why he did this. We could not ask Mr. Del Bene because he had left the company.
I have had to pay additional taxes and interest for 2006. Reprecussions from Ct.,R.I. and S.C. tax forms have not been addressed at this time. I have also had to spend a lot of time: 1. recalculating my taxes in order to try to find where the mistake was. 2. meeting with Ms. Caswell. 3. calling and reporting the problem to the regional office in Fall River, Mass. and the 1-800 national number.
Bottom line: due to the incompetance of their employee and their promises of satisfaction and peace of mind, H&R Block must pay for my additional taxes and interest($865) and return my tax prep fee($290). They must also pay any additional taxes,penalties and interest owed to Ct.,R.I.,S.C.

Wait till ALL forms are in to file your taxes

Joseph, you said you filed your 2006 taxes in 2006. This situation might be avoided in the future by waiting until all your forms are in from companies that are supposed to send you 1099s, W2s, 1098s, etc. I am assuming that's what happened. While it may seem beneficial to you to file early to get that tax refund back, you really should wait until February of the NEXT year, so you don't get any surprises, and have to amend!

If the returns were incorrect - why did you sign them???? Some of this does fall on you

If your income was not correct on the tax forms WHY DID YOU SIGN THEM?
You either CHOSE not to review it - or YOU CHOSE to ignore the descrepancies.
I have a fairly complicated tax return and I always know what the bottom line should be as far as income received and make sure those line items are listed correctly. Just because you use a tax service does not mean that you do not have to do your own due diligence.

What was the out come?

I too had the exact same problem. Only I owe the IRS four thousand dollars now because of them. They are not honoring the Peace of Mind Insurance purchased for me either. What was the out come? Do you have any advice for me?
Thanks
