I think we took bad advice

How did you find your CPA? We did HR last year and are not sure we want to use them again to file our returns.

I found a CPA by simply Google in public accountant for tax preparation in my city, followed by recommendation from customers, choose the one with highest recommendation close to 5 star and shop for better price also, some will be cheaper than H&R Block. Good luck

Fire your tax person, she's an idiot. She must've gone to the H&R Block school of tax preparation. I have been doing tax preparation for 13 years (self-taught, no formal training other than MBA in finance/management), married people can't file as single or HoH.

Don't go to that meeting. Look for a new tax preparer.

You should amend your bad returns. It's usually better for married couples to file jointly (in most cases).
