What is the name of your state? Kentucky/Ohio
I now live in Kentucky, but I lived in Ohio the first part of last year. My question concerns a tax accountant in Ohio and rental property that I have in Ohio.
I lived in a house in Ohio from 2001 through to 2006. I was on medical from my job at the time and was very sick. My parents took advantage of my illness and since they were co-owners of the house, they decided that they were going to claim the house on their taxes as rental property even though I was making all of the payments. I went along with it because I was just too sick to do otherwise and didn't even bother to look into what my rights were and so forth. Well, I'm much better now and back to work. I bought my current Kentucky home and we put the other house up for rent. I went to a new accountant here in Kentucky. She wanted to claim my half of the house for 2006 (I had requested an extension in April and am just now doing my taxes) for me. This prompted a conversation that detailed my rights and the need for the formula used thus far to calculate the depreciation used for my parents taxes since 2001. I, therefore, asked my parents for this information. They will not give me it. I then tried to contact the previous Ohio accountant to get it or have her amend my 2004 taxes claiming my half of the house so I can find out that way. Once I have this information, I plan on amending my 2004 (if not yet done) and 2005 taxes accordingly and finsihing my 2006 taxes and getting them sent off promptly. I've called the previous accountant on numerous occassions. I have faxed her a letter, sent her a copy of the letter overnight to her house. I have left pleading messages to her, to no avail. What can I do???? She has me over a barrel. THEY have me over a barrel.
Thanks!
