We have a new client who brought to us a letter from the state requiring a state corporate tax return. The client didn't know it had not been filed. The former tax preparer filed his C Corp business on a schedule C from the inception of the corporation (about 8 years). We will file the current 2014 tax year properly as a C Corp. We will recommend that amended returns be filed for prior years. Can we amend all years? What if he doesn't want to amend returns?
FYI - We were told the prior tax return preparer is in jail.
