re: If a CPA makes a mistake that results in interest and penalties from the IRS....

You earned the income, so you would definitely be responsible for that portion. In my limited experience, if you work w the IRS, they are often willing to waive/negotiate the penalties & interest if you’re able to make payments timely. If it’s truly the error of the CPA, they will often waive their fees to correct the mistake when it’s an obvious oversight on their end and will do their part to reduce/eliminate the fees & interest

Agreed on all of this. If they truly just omitted it from organized support, they should want to make it right, and have the resources to expedite it.

The IRS is actually reasonable in this regard if you can pay it.
