1 /5 Bao Tran Le: My husband trusted Joe Kitchens for tax year 2020-2022 with his business tax filings. We thought that Joe submitted all the necessary paperwork and filed the business tax correctly. For tax year 2023, we decided to go to an accountant closer to us. Thankfully we did because our new accountant informed us that she received a rejection when she tried to file our business taxes using Form 1120-S like the previous years that Joe did for us. That’s when it came to our attention that for 3 years, our filings were not accepted. When we asked Joe, he replied that he submitted all paperwork to file the business as a S-Corp and filings were accepted. He blamed the IRS by stating he could not force the IRS to take actions just because he sent in paperwork, and that we need to have our new accountant handle it. He could not provide us with any proofs such as certified mailing or fax confirmation for the paperwork he claimed he sent in or submission IDs for tax filings. Joe took no accountability for his mishandling of our taxes.
