Your preparer is usually liable for errors and is insured to cover the risk. Contact them about this.

Are you sure about that? I thought the taxpayer is always ultimately responsible even if they have a preparer

At which point you'd sue the preparer for damages and forever ruin their reputation. Most would be happy to fix this and keep their names off of there public docket.

True. I was always warned to make sure we go over our taxes thoroughly, even though we have a preparer also because we’d still be liable.

This is the right take. Taxpayer has the final responsibility in the accuracy of a return. To sue your preparer typically malpractice or negligence would need to be proven for recovery.

Apologies, originally replied to the comment above yours by mistake.
