My tax preparer neglected to include Bank interest on my 1040. I pointed out the error but he did…read morenot correct it. Said let's wait to see if IRS catches it. Block will stand behind any penalty or interest. I am uncomfortable with that approach and I think Block should not permit this type of response from their preparers. The better is ease of setting appointments, good telephone contact, and privacy of meeting. If I return I will ask for a different preparer. Block needs to address this type of behavior. The reply I received from Block following my complaint was to schedule a review. Number provided does nothing but provide clicking sounds. I am more annoyed now and wish to address the ethics of preparer saying let IRS find the error. I talked with a tax pro in Tallahassee, Friend, who said that is highly unethical. She said she would advise me of steps to take if Block does not respond appropriately. Really we are going downhill morally and ethically. I have always honored my tax obligation.
