Your question about both of you making errors on your tax returns is relatively straight forward. Each of you would need to file an amended return. In your case you would be asking for additional money back from the IRS. Therefore there would be no penalty on your return. In his case his amended return would state that he was overpaid and he would have to make a payment back along with the amended return. Linda, it is good that you are reminding your son how important it is to be right with the Government. Good Luck. Hello Linda,

That is in a pure legal sense. Remember this for next year and take the extra time to read it thru no matter who does your taxes as ultimately you are responsible for them. That said, in practical terms errors are made all the time. My neighbor is 87 and donates his time helping H&R Block do taxes for low income people. He is one of a small army around the country doing this. So, taxes are done by people of various qualifications all the time. What you need to do is to go to H&R Block and report the error and request an amended return. Who ends up paying for it (not much) will depend on how good you can negotiate with them. Remember my first paragraph above. If you are a repeat customer then I think it will go well. Whatever the case they can straighten it out so don't get too worried unless a lot of time has gone by in which case someone else might get your check mailed to them. Judith, good luck and act quickly. Hello Judith,

The best way to prepair for this is to locate your 2008 pay stubs. Using the infomation they contain you will need to estimate your wages, Social Security and Medicare taxes paid. In additon you will be asked to estimate your Federal, State and Local Taxes withheld. Shelley,
