A) warn the tax payer of the consequences

B) offer to ammend the return.

FAR-76 First attempt.

Done!

A) for sure. If that isn't a choice for answer but “Withdraw from engagement” is, that is also another good answer.

Preparer has a responsibility to either withdraw when deemed necessary to do so or tell the TP about the mistake, preferably the latter.

They don't have the responsibility to amend the return is a good way to look at this question.

FAR 84 (AUG '15)
BEC 83 (AUG '15)
AUD 79 (OCT '15)
REG 71, 78! (NOV '15, FEB '16)
