My parents are over 80 and had under $15,000 in rental income last year, plus $13,000 in non-taxable Social Security benefits. Answering the list of questions on the IRS website, I concluded that they did not have to file taxes and they weren't expecting a refund.
I was able to find their tax returns for the last 10 years, all done by H&R Block, and all done unnecessarily and at a rate of $200+ per return that took maybe all of 15 minutes to prepare.
Would this be considered elder abuse?
They've had their rental for over 30 years so there is no depreciation and all the expenses is being handled by their property manager so there really is no paperwork or complications.
