- Choosing a tax professional in no less important that
selecting a doctor or any other professional service
provider. - If you pay someone to prepare your tax return, choose that
preparer wisely, advises the IRS. Taxpayers are legally
responsible for what's on their returns, even if their
returns were prepared by someone else.
How to choose a tax professional?
- Choose a preparer you will be able to contact after the
return is filed and one that will be responsive to your
needs. - Beware of a preparer who guaranteers results or bases
fees on the percentage of the amount of the refund. A
practitioner may not charge a contingent fee for preparing
a tax return. - Determine if you preparer' credentials meet your needs.
Only attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents can represent
their clients before the IRS in all matters including audits,
collections, and appeals. - If your main concern is getting a rapid refund, you could
use a tax preparation franchise. These tax services have
offices throughout the country. However, you should know
that many of these firms only operate during tax season
and their employees, most of the time, receive a basic
training without going into the details about the tax law.
