Can we sue our tax preparer?

[threejs]

the tax preparer who filed our 1999 taxes made a mistake that, in the end, will cost our family approx $600 in interest and fees? can we go after the tax preparer for this money?

My response:

Yes.

However, in order to prove your case to a Small Claims court judge, you're going to have to hire an "Expert Witness" to appear in court to give tax testimony; i.e., to explain to the judge how and where and why the mistake was made. That will probably cost you as much as the damages you seek to claim.

Good luck to you.
