re: Billing dispute with CPA

I don't want to directly pay the IRS because I shouldn't owe them anything. After his first review he said they actually owe me $20 from 2010.
As far as contacting them myself, that has proven to be very difficult. Called on 3 different occasions and was on hold for over 45 minutes each time and only spoke to someone once. That was early on and he said they were still processing everything

You can always pay and amend the return to get the refund.

I call them on behalf of my clients all the time. You have to call them early in the morning. Right now the wait times for practitioners are around 2-5 minutes if you do it before 9 am.
I just called Monday. Easy as pie.
If you pay the tax and try to amend the return for a refund, it may be too late if the return was for 2010. You have 3 years after the date it was filed(including extensions if you filed for one) to receive a refund form an amended return.
However, there is no statute of limitations on money owed to them.

Overall sounds on the high side, but another way to look at it, the problem is with the IRS not the CPA, he is just charging you for his time and effort. First off he did not do the return initially so he had to fully review the return to see what was going on, secondly the amount you owe the IRS has nothing to do with how much he charges, he works by the hour not by the %
thirdly
do you think he had any better luck? I am sure he has other things to do besides sitting on hold with the IRS
DO you use him now for your yearly stuff? If so I would think a call to him might help, if you are not using him...well that might be part of it too
