Are we right to expect our old CPA to handle this problem?

YANMCPA of course, but how would you handle errors on forms you prepared for someone who is no longer a client?

Our old CPA wasn't great, so we used a new one for our 2019 taxes. New CPA found an error on 2018's taxes because of something the old CPA didn't do. We asked old CPA to refile, which he did. All good, or so we thought.

Fast forward to last weekend, when we received a CP2000 letter from the IRS regarding underreporting on our 2018 taxes. There were several issues, including some forms we seem to have neglected to include, as well as at least one instance of dollar figures from documents we DID include, which old CPA neglected to enter on our returns. We definitely do owe the IRS, but one of the errors was absolutely made by our old CPA. Old CPA says we're not his clients anymore, so we should have our new CPA handle it.

(Yes, we've already been in touch with the IRS and have received an extension so we have a little more time to sort things out.)
