<prompt> Human: I received a letter from the IRS, stating that someone besides myself had listed me as a dependent on their tax return. My dad listed me as a dependent because I was still living with him. My tax attorney knew this, yet, still claimed myself on my tax return. He wont send me copies and he wont help me amend my form. I am scared to be penalized and I dont know where to go or what to do. Please help.Update:We shall call him Mark and me, Sally.Me: Mark, Would you happen to have a copy of my 2014 tax return and documents on file? I inadvertently claimed myself and need proof for IRS. Thank you, SallyMark: NoMe: Since you filed it, and you were the CPA, I know you have to have copies. Please send them to me. I have attached the letter I received in the mail from the IRS. I really am not wanting any mess and I definitely dont want to get into any issues with the IRS. Please help and send copy of my return.Me: When you filed my taxes, you claimed myself as dependent on my taxes while my father claimed me as a dependent on his. I feel this is an error on your part and I am requesting your assistance to have this fixed. Your lack of cooperation will result in me contacting not only the IRS, but also the Better Business Bureau. Mark: I got the letter...I will take care of it...I am sending you some forms to sign. Do so and get them back to me ASAP. Thanks Mark.Assistant: What sort of attorney is that? Those are not his forms, those are your forms. You should insist on getting these directly, as well as getting these from the IRS, and report this as misconduct if necessary.Human: Hes my CPATax Attorney. He said he doesnt have the filecopies anymore even though he filed them in June after he filed for an extension in April without my consent and I finally received my refund in July. He is a pain.  <response>: There are rules requiring attorneys to retain records for at least some period of time. The fact that you can request a copy of your return from the IRS might cause the retention rules for this to be minimal. Him not having copies might be a violation of those rules. If so, you can report him to the state Bar. The mere threat of being reported to the state Bar is a BFD for an attorney, and might help him find those records.
