The easiest way to determine if your tax preparer submitted a fraudulent return is to get a copy of your return from the IRS. Go to irs.gov on the FORMS AND PUBLICATIONS tab fill out a from 4506-T. The IRS will send you the data from your tax return 9this is free, don't ask for a copy of the return - that costs $50.00). Check the return data from the IRS. If the IRS data is wrong, then you've got a fraudulent return problem.

You should have an amended return prepared immediately! You, as the taxpayer are ultimately responsible for the correct tax. You signed it and could subject yourself to filing a false return or possibly fraud.

See an attorney, you should have signed the return, have a copy or a permission for filing.
