Choosing a Tax Preparer

Choosing a tax preparer is a crucial decision. You need to find a preparer who will file not only accurate returns but honest ones as well. There have been cases of where some dishonest preparers have skimmed a portion of the client’s refund. Always match the refunds from your actual filed returns to the amount you received from the IRS to make sure they are the same amounts. Some preparers may even charge inflated fees to prepare your return.

Another red flag is when a preparer tries to get your business by promising large refunds. You can get a full list of preparer red flags right from the IRS website, www.irs.gov/chooseataxpro.
