Hi.

I recently became incorporated in PA on the past year and got an accountant since I knew I could not do my taxes on my own anymore. He set up everything for me and filed my payroll taxes for 2nd & 3rd & 4th Q of 2008 along with annual W2 forms. I also had given him my personal taxes to file as well. As of today, I have the delinquent office for corporate taxes stating 4th Q 2008 is not completely filed (which they have contacted me twice to state and I have contacted my accountant twice to tell him) and I just received a call that the 1st Q 2009 has not been filed and also contacted my accountant about that. I also just recieved a letter from IRS stating my extension was filed late therefore it has not been approved. I contacted my accountant and he is on vacation until the 22nd. My question is what should I do? It seems as if my accounant could care less about my taxes and many times I call him I talk to a answering machine and when I do talk to him I get an answer as if the office that is contacting me made the mistake and he will easily fix it. I plan on trying to find a different accountant but want to hear others opinions as what I should do. What happens to the penalties and interest? Will he pay them if I end up going to a different accountant to file the taxes he has not been doing?
