Just curious ... because I need to make a decision before the October 17, deadline.
Is my audit risk any different if I file a TurboTax 1040 or if I hand that completed TurboTax 1040 (and supporting documents) to a tax preparer who files the 1040 for me?
I realize the tax prepararer does the work all over again (and in doing so, they vette the return for math errors since they likely use sophisticated software); but overall ... assuming nothing else but that the return is filed by me or it is re-calculed on his software and then filed by my tax preparer ...
Q: Which has the higher audit risk?
- The return filed by me? ... or ...
- The (similar) return filed by my tax preparer?
