I filed a tax return and signed the return and did not get paid. Do I contact the IRS and recall the tax return now that I'm not
No, that's not how it works. The IRS doesn't 'care' whether you get paid; contact an attorney, consider smalls claims; chalk it up to experience; get paid before efiling in the future.
I'm am curious how you think one 'recalls' a tax return ?
A few years ago I completed preparation and sent it to client. They never signed the 8879 and never paid me. I did not e-file it.
I checked the online Where's my refund? and the refund was exactly the same as what I prepared.
You are still the "paid preparer" even when you don't get paid. Read Circular 230 for the definition.
