I decided to start filing my own taxes again this year. As a result, I discovered that he had been giving me incorrect advice regarding estimated tax payments for years. He said he recommends paying scheduled taxes, which is actually required. Again, the software would have told him this and also given him the penalty that I had to pay. He never mentioned the fine I incurred and it was not listed on the return he gave me after it was filed.
I’m upset and feel he should make it up to me for these mistakes. He offered to pay my taxes, he gave me wrong advice, but never mentioned the fines I was charged. In fact, when I reached out to him to say that I hadn’t realized I was being fined for years, he never responded.
My boyfriend believes he should not ask me to pay back because his father has never charged me for the services provided, even though he offered to pay me the taxes. Masu. I disagree. what is your opinion?
Taxable: You get what you pay for. In my opinion, your boyfriend’s father is not responsible to you for the mistakes he made.
These tax returns will be filed in your name and with the information you provided. You should review your return and pay careful attention to taxes and penalties before you sign and submit your return. The IRS requirements for estimated taxes are clear and easily available with a simple internet search. The penalty should appear on the return line, but you may have only seen the “last line” when reviewing your return.
If you had hired this CPA and signed the contract, he would have also signed your return, and the IRS could penalize him for making an avoidable mistake. . Or you could take him to court, but you’re still in trouble.
Dear Amy: My wife of over 30 years has never stopped cheating on me with a man who works in the same office, even though we don’t work together. He is also married and having an affair.
What concerns me is that he has slept with at least one other woman in the office. He told her that her wife refused to have sex with him. I happened to see texts from both. Additionally, when your spouse is “away,” have dinners or meetings outside of work.
I told her that this should stop, but she insisted that he was a friend and that she needed his help. She rejects her marriage counselor. Recently, she found out that she was having an affair with another colleague. She refused to talk about it. That was so long ago…over 20 years ago.
I love my wife, but I really can’t stand any more disrespect. In fact, as I approach retirement, I feel like I’ve wasted the best years of my life. Have some advice?
Distraught: I hope you don’t really feel like you wasted the best years of your life, even though you spent years “spending” with someone you didn’t consider a loving partner. The best years of your life may be ahead.
You’ll feel better as you regain some strength. Talk to a lawyer, get some counseling, and start making the choices that are best for you.
Dear Amy: “unlucky husband” he wrote, expressing his suspicion that the men in his wife’s running group were interested in more than just running.
I used to be an avid runner and would run in groups of about 8 people. The runners spent so much time together that three marriages broke up. I’m lucky. I met my wife while running without breaking up my marriage.
distance: Your answer may inspire many readers to buy running shoes. It’s endorphins!
