They took it back and had is audited and redone by someone "whose been doing this for a long time" and when I got it back, the updated amount due was literally a fraction of what they initially stated (my taxes due were literally overstated by like $15k)But then, someone else reviewed it one more time and again, they caught something else they "missed" which changed my amount due again and it went up by another $4k or so.At this point, I've called in my old tax preparer and she's doing her own audit so that we can compare the 3 returns TS has given me with what she gets — which is another expense incurred for me.
