My CPA stated that my son did not file as a dependent therefore I cannot claim him on my returns with my spouse (2019 Federal) without him amending his returns. On review of his returns (done on TurboTax) he did check the box "Someone can claim you as a dependent", and Turbotax calculated his standard deduction to be $12,000. This appears to be correct per Table 8 of the Standard Deduction Worksheet for Dependents.
My CPA however prepared a 1040X amended return with $0 and a new tax liability of $1321. Is he correct not publication 501 and Trubotax? My CPA has failed to answer any of my calls, emails or text messages since October and we are now past due on our returns which he prepared in error, and amending our son's return.
