I had not thought about the possibility that the client's previous accountant filed an extension already. After talking with my client this morning, she sent the previous tax preparer firm a text message and got a reply back they did file an extension for her and it was accepted. I have instructed her to get a copy to the Form 4868 they filed and confirmation that it was accepted. I also informed her that in my opinion unless she had an agreement with them to file an extension, they should not have done that without her permission and should not charge her for doing it.
