Tax preparer takes too long to file taxes (US citizen question)
A U.S. citizen DN here. I found this U.S. expat tax preparer last year that filed my taxes with the FEIE exception that gave me a huge tax refund. I did my search before contacting him. The guy is legit, he has a business and a decent website.
So I asked him to do my taxes this year too, but it sounds like he is over his head with orders. When I submitted all the documents through his website (back at the start of March) he sent me an automated email that he’d file an “automatic IRS extension” on my behalf. At the time I didn’t pay attention to it, but now I’m somewhat concerned because the April 15 deadline is approaching.
Had anyone have this happen before? It’s my second time using a tax preparer to file taxes.
PS. The only reason I used this guy is to help me file for FEIE. Otherwise I always did my own taxes before that.
