<prompt> Human: So earlier this year I sent my information to a CPA my family uses, who I requested to amend my returns. He keeps putting me off, saying hell get to them, that hes busy, etc etc. At this point what is my recourse? Assistant: Callemail him set a limit of when you expect it to be done. If it is not done, find a new CPA. HeShe works for you. You can fire them.Human: I did try that, unfortunately I was in debt so a family member offered to help me out by paying this CPA. I dont know why I didnt find my own to begin with, because these things always go badly. Im no longer on good terms with this family member. I think they paid the CPA for work they didnt do. Hence my question about recourse. Ive no experience working with accountantsCPAs other than going to HR Block once and realizing that I could do the same thing on my own using tax software. And most people seem to get impatient with me, so I tend to let things go.  <response>: Call him and tell him you would like him to do what he is suppose to do or issue you a refund.If nothing happens you can file a small claim. You should have a slam dunk case.Get a backbone
