Question $55$ of $85.$

Josh, one of your clients, wants to claim the Earned Income Credit and gives you information that seems incorrect and inconsistent. What do you do$?$

File his return because you don't want to lose a client.

File the return only after you have asked Josh questions to clarify what he has said and you believe you now have a full understanding, and it appears to you he is eligible to claim the credit.

Refuse to file the return and refer him to someone else in your office.

Refuse to file the return until you have time to investigate what Josh has told you.
