Not every return is timely filed with perfect information. Practitioners often struggle with missing, unavailable, or incorrect information, or late-filed tax returns – or clients with both! This course reviews both of these situations and how the practitioner can help the client to the best of their ability while maintaining a commitment to accuracy and ethics.


Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the ethical and technical issues related to amending incorrect returns.

  • Describe strategies for preparing tax returns with missing, incorrect, or unavailable information. 

  • Explain how to handle incorrect or missing information returns when preparing a tax return. 

  • Describe strategies for preparing and submitting delinquent tax returns.
