You are a CPA and do tax returns for individuals. A woman enters your office and asks you to complete her tax return. During your meeting, she mentions that she is expecting about $5000 in refund, and needs that to pay off a debt, that will result in a $1000 fine if she does not pay in the next month. You complete her tax return, but the refund is much lower than she expected, only $1000. She is very mad, and consults with another CPA. The other CPA determines that you made a significant mistake, but the period to file returns has passed. It will cost $500 to file an amendment. What damages is the woman likely entitled to?
Group of answer choices
A. None, because accountants can't be perfect
B. $500, because that is all that is needed to make it right
C. $500, and potentially $1000, because of the consequential damages of not being able to pay off her loan on time
D. $4000, because that is the difference between the proper refund and your mistake.
