New client. Started working on the tax return and noticed the pension she receives has not been reported correctly on previous tax returns. I would say more than 10 years. It has "unknown" in Box 2a. and the pension has not been taxed on the tax return. She does owe a few thousand on Federal.
Of course I will be preparing the tax return correctly but I want to prepare her for IRS notices.
My question is once I file this return will that more than likely trigger the IRS to look at her prior years tax returns and assess tax owed?
I've never really seen this so would appreciate any help.
