"I am sorry you think that I should just leave this to others. That is not what I tell my accounting 101 students."

But this isn't a classroom and the additional details you provided were missing in your original post.  You have to realize, this is the internet and anybody and their brother can post questions here.  Believe it or not, this place is accessible to folks other than tax pros.  We have no idea of what anybody's background is and as in this case we usually don't have a lot of details to go by when someone wants help.  

As a side note, there are things that I do leave to others.  There are certain areas I won't touch because I don't have the necessary experience in and I'm not going to put a client at risk just because I'm too afraid to tell I client "I don't know".  As Dirty Harry once said "A man's got to know his limitations".
