An Extension of time to file does not mean an extension of time to pay. The best way to prevent any additional penalties is to estimate what your tax position will be and pay by 4/15.

⚖️ A Cautionary Tale: Why Your Choice of Tax Preparer Matters More Than You Think

The recent Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Murrin v. Commissioner (No. 24-2037) should be a wake-up call for every taxpayer.

Here’s what happened: Murrin hired a tax preparer named to prepare her returns from 1993-1999. Unbeknownst to her, the tax preparer fraudulently prepared those returns with intent to evade tax. Fast forward to 2019—over 20 years later—the IRS came knocking with a notice of deficiency in unpaid taxes, plus penalties and interest. Murrin argued she had no fraudulent intent and that the three-year statute of limitations should protect her. The court disagreed. In their ruling, the Third Circuit held that when a tax preparer commits fraud on your return, the normal three-year statute of limitations doesn’t apply—the IRS can assess taxes at any time, even decades later.

The Bottom Line: You are ultimately responsible for what’s on your tax return, even if someone else prepared it fraudulently without your knowledge.
Protect Yourself:
✅ Hire qualified, licensed tax professionals with verified credentials
✅ Review your returns carefully before signing—never sign a blank return
✅ Ask questions if something doesn’t look right
✅ Keep detailed records of your tax filings
✅ Consider professionals with certifications (CPA, EA, tax attorney)

This case reminds us that cutting corners on tax preparation can have devastating financial consequences that may haunt you for decades. The cost of hiring a reputable professional is far less than the potential liability of getting it wrong.
