My CPA entered the wrong amount for total assets on my s-corp 2007 return. I didn't notice it until now when I was ready to copy the info for the 2008 return. He said he did that to avoid paying minimum tax for NYS ($800). Was it legal for him to do that? I thought he'd use a loophole to get me exempted not falsify my total assets. The return was for a short year when I had no business. My total assets at that time were $1000.

I want to dissolve the s-corp now and want to file my final return for 2008.
How do I get around this mistake as I have to enter beginning of the year balance and year ending balance. I only had $900 expenses (tax return filling fee and phone and website costs)and only $250 income.

Thank you for your time to answer my question.
