I have a client who sends money back to his mother in mexico and provides over half her support. Is there any way I can claim this even though she doesn't have a SS# or ITIN#? Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks,

RJ Tax and Notary

If her mother has less than $3,200 in gross income, the answer is yes. Submit the return and a completed W-7 to the ITIN unit in PA.

If a client or clients offer fraudelant information and the client or clients get audited. Does the liability always fall on the client because they are offering us the information. Can we as prepaers still be held liable if a client tries to blaim the preparer for their unscrupulous ways. All I carry now is a $5000 surety bond wich is the minimum required for california to prepare taxes. Am I not covered enough, should I also carry errors and ommissions insurance? Please give your thoughts and or experiences.

Thank you,

RJ TAX and NOTARY
