A tax preparer made a mistake on my 2017 Federal tax return in Wheatland, Wyoming, by not accounting for my wife's 2017 Social Security income, resulting in an additional $3572 payment to the IRS. I confronted him with evidence of his mistake, and he apologized but did not offer to compensate for the penalties and fees. What steps should I take to recover his fee and have him pay any penalties and fees?
