Clients who receive bad tax advice deserve To Be Made Whole
Most people—even really smart ones—don’t understand the IRS, the federal tax code, or how to prepare their tax returns. As a result, we rely on professionals to help prepare taxes and advise us on what is and is not acceptable. If there is a risk of penalties, we expect to be told in simple English.
Over the past decade, many accounting and law firms have marketed various tax "products" to delay or reduce taxes or turn income into lower-taxed capital gains. Clients often pay substantial fees to receive this kind of advice.
The IRS is clamping down, lawsuits are being filed, and professional firms end up scrambling to make their operations look legitimate.
The fines and penalties these clients may now owe the IRS, even though they relied on professionals, is not fair, but to hold the responsible parties responsible for damages, clients need to act quickly because claims against accounting and law firms sometimes have very short time limits.
Consumers who received bad tax advice from a professional firm and now are facing IRS scrutiny should receive compensation from responsible accounting or law firms, starting with a free, private case review.

Tax Shelter Info To Prepare Consumers
Explain how bad tax advice affected clients.
Over the past decade, these accounting firms have been peddling all sorts of tax "products" to delay taxes and turn income into lower-taxed capital gains. Clients paid big bucks for these deals and were kept quiet. Some tax shelters sailed through IRS checks, but many are now being turned down.
For example, a Senate subcommittee investigated accounting giant KPMG and found:
Modern tax shelters are often driven by the professionals who devise and market them rather than just by unscrupulous taxpayers.
The key players in these schemes are the professional groups that design and aggressively market tax shelters, sometimes using telemarketing tactics.
KPMG acknowledged selling these tax shelters but stated that the era of large-scale tax shelter products has passed.
The Senate investigation revealed a detailed infrastructure that:

Employees were reportedly under significant pressure to generate profitable ideas and sell them vigorously
KPMG was said to have used confidential taxpayer information gathered by its tax preparers
KPMG ran a telemarketing operation to find customers for its tax shelters
