So my 2017 taxes were odd because I lived in two different states and had two different incomes (both W-2 and 1099). I thought that I would have to owe taxes, but to my surprise my CPA said that I should get a ~$400 return. I paid the $125 to him for the tax preparation service and went on my merry way.
A month ago I received a letter from the IRS stating that I owe ~$1500 in taxes from that 2017 return. I brought the letter to the CPA and asked him to check it out. I'm still not 100% sure of exactly what the reason is, but it was an issue with the lifetime learning credits and what applies to that.
In short, I believe that my CPA screwed up when the taxes were prepared initially. We amended the return and we calculated that I only owe ~$1000, but my CPA also sent me an invoice for $175 for the re-preparation.
I feel like I should tell him that I shouldn't be paying him for fixing his mistake, but I don't want to seem out of line. What should I do? I'm okay with paying the taxes since I actually do owe them.
I think that is all the relevant information you need, but if you need more, ask away.
Thanks PF
