What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? GA previously OH
If you go to a tax preparation company (like Jackson Hewitt) to get your taxes done and they make a mistake is it their responsiblity to rectify it? For instance my husband and I were seperated in 2009 for over 6 months (not legally seperated he was living with his parents) while living in ohio we got back together and moved to GA in Feb of 2010. We filed taxes here in GA together in 2010. They told me to file head of household because we were living apart for so long so i did and we filed seperately. They messed up somehow according to the letters I just received from the IRS and the Ohio Attorney Generals Office saying that they put his SS# under my name and my SS# under his name. The tax lady and Jackson Hewitt said that the IRS and Ohio just realized the mistake because when we filed this year we filed under the correct SS#'s. I am now being asked to Pay back My Tax return money from 2009 by the IRS and the tax return money owed by my husband to ohio. How should I preceed because I have now been asked to come back up to the Jackson Hewitt office for the 3rd time because the amended return was done incorrectly again. This is taking tons of time and gas money along with stress and I am not sure what I need to do. Do I contact the IRS and OH or do i just let Jackson Hewitt file and amended return?
