I disagree. On page nine, Section H, of the booklet it states "If you filed a return with the IRS and later discover you made an error on it, you must: . Correct it as soon as possible and file Copy A and Form 1096 and . Furnish statements to recipients showing the correction... CORRECTED checkbox. Enter an "X" in the corrected checkbox only when correcting a form previously filed with the IRS or furnished to the recipient. Certain errors require two returns to make the correction. See Filing corrected returns on paper forms below to determine when to mark the "CORRECTED" checkbox..." Yes, the link does work after all (I couldn't get it to do so when typing the post).

I had an accountant before I got into the tax business who was ex IRS CID and thought he knew all of what he could get away with. He padded expenses on numerous returns for several years until a couple of his clients got audited. This led to the IRS to raid his office, ski masks on, guns drawn and hauling off all his records. He and an associate got million dollar fines and 18 months jail sentences. None of the clients were charged.
