4. The PlainIiff has provided an untruth in his Complaint dated March 25, 1996. The
IRS did not assess any penalties. Na penalties were ever issued and/or assessed on this
matter, The Plaintiff, however. states in Section 9 and Section 13 that penalties were
assessed, The Internal Revenue Service did not ever assess penalties on this matter to
the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff had to pay back the excess refund along with interest in the
amount of$164,33.
Under Section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code, interest is charged for the use of the
additional tax refund that the Plaintiff had for the period until repaid to the Service, The
interest assessed ranged from 7% to 10% (the rate af interest assessed by the Service
changes every 6 months).
S. The Plaintiff accuses the Defendant of being negligent. There was no negligence
performed in the preparation of the ta.~ services provided to the Plaintiff.
Internal Revenue Service Sectian 6662 imposes an accuracy-related penalty (negligence
penalty). For purposes of this sectian the term "negligence" includes any failure to make a
reasonable attempt ta comply with the provisions of this title, and the term "disregard"
includes any careless. reckless, or intentioflal disregard, If the Service determines that the
information provided on the return was negligent then the service wauld impose the
negligence penalty, The Service did not issue any penalties.
In addition, under Section 6694 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Service will issue
penalties to the preparer if the preparer was "negligent" in the preparation of the tax
return. The Service did not issue any penalties on this matter.
6. Breach of Contract. The Plaintiff accuses the Defendant of a breach of contract.
No contract was breached. The Defendant for a number years provided excellent
professional advice and tax return preparation services to the Plaintiff. The Plaintiff
requested that the Defendant continue to provide tax advice for those years along with the
preparation of the Plaintiff's federal. state, and local tax returns. The Defendant provided
the services as requested. For the year 1992, the Defendant fulfilled the contract for the
preparation of the Plaintiff's federal. state, and local tax returns.
In additian. the Plaintiff is responsible to examine the return and accompanying schedules
and statements. and attest to the best of his/her knowledge and belief, they are true,
correct and complete. The Plaintiff is then respansible to sign the ta.~ return under this
above declaration.
A3 a result, no contract was breached. The services for the preparation of the 1992
federal. state, and local tax returns for the Plaintiff by the Defendant were performed and
as always performed in a professional and courteous manner.
COUNT II - MALPRACTICE
7. MalpracIice, There was na professional misconduct or improper pra~tice by the
Defendant. The Defendant has always conducted himself in a professional and ethical
manner. The 1992 ta.x returns, as always were prepared in a professional manner, There
was no negligence or improper practice by the defendant. If there was any malpractice,
the Internal Revenue Service, along with possibly the Justice Department would have
acted on this issue and initiated an investigatian or have assessed penalties. The Internal
Revenue Service did not feel any penalties were applicable on this maller, No negligence
and na pre parer penall.ies were issued by the Internal Revenue Service.
As a result, there was no malpractice by the Defendant. The federal, state, and local tax
returns prepared by the Defendant were prepared in a timely and professional manner.
8. In conclusion, the claim issued by the Plaintiff is not only unjustified but it is also
untruthful. No penalties were ever issued or assessed by the Internal Revenue Service.
The Plaintiff had to pay back ta the Service the excess refund received. In addition, the
Plaintiff had to reimburse the Service interest on the use of the excess refund up until the
time the money was provided back ta the ~ervice. The Plaintiff did not even suffer any
economic loss. The interest rate assessed by the Service is and was very much lower than
the interest assessed on credit cards. The Plaintiff at that time had several charge cards
along with a hc;me mortgage. As a cansequence, na economic loss was incurred by the
Plaintiff for repayment of the interest.
The claim that a contract has been breached is erroneous, The Defendant prepared the tax
returns in a timely and professianal manner. No contract was ever written or agreed upon
that the Defendant would reimburse the Plaintiff for any adjustments issued by the Service,
The contract was only for the preparation af the Plaintiff's federal, state, and local tax
returns. The Defendant prepared in a timely manner federal, state, and local tax returns
for the Plaintiff. As a consequence, no contract was breached by the Defendant.
The claim of malpractice is clearly erroneous and unjust. There was no professional
mi~conduct or improper practice by the Defendant. The federal, staie, and local tax
returns were prepared in a timely and professional manner. The Defendant delivered the
returns to the Plaintiff in a timely manner. The Defendant discussed the tax returns with
Plaintiff in a timely and professional marmer. As a consequence, there was no malpractice
by the Defendant.
The entire claim initiated by the Plaintiff is erroneous and unjustified. The Plaintiff has
pravided untruths and misinfonnation in attacking the reputation and character of the
Defendant.
Wherefore, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant
judgment in his favor and against Plaintiff and revoke all claims made against Defendant.
In addition, have Plaintiff reimburse Defendant for all fees and costs incurred in defending
against these claims.
Respectfully submitted,
Dated April 12, 1996
