Hi Anna, Unfortunately, this is a common misunderstanding by most CPAs and tax professionals. 

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

Well-intentioned, but there’s some uninformed advice here and misunderstandings about what can and cannot be adjusted.

If they push back and insist it's a misunderstanding, give them a list of your problems and what they would have to do to prove the information is reliable, then give them one opportunity to apply with additional information.

This guy started taking his website seriously in Feb,  around the time you posted this.4 weeks later:Now don't misunderstand.

If we are misunderstanding what you are asking happy to continue to dialogue.

Likely not, but if you don't mind taking the risk and spending a little extra in taxes (from missing possible deductions or misunderstanding the law) then that's ok.
