@patamelia thank you for clarifying your situation. As long as you are happy with the filing, I am good-- even though I disagree with the way you are handling the rental income, perhaps the end result is the same . When I was in Germany in the eighties, yes I ( my employer ) used Coopers & Lybrand to do my taxes and generally these were OK -- my rental income was in the USA and doubly taxed ( US and Deutschland ). Since then I have worked as a Tax Professional for many years ( and obviously have strong opinions on how things should be done ). However, as I said , as long as you are satisfied with the tax filing that is all that matters (for the time being ). Stay safe
