Enhanced scrutiny affects more return preparers and increases costs of violations
Article Abstract:
The definition of a tax return preparer includes those who give advice related to tax return preparation, and programmers of tax software. Certified public accountants are exceptions to the rule that the lack of compensation excludes one who prepares a return from the classification of preparer. Compliance rules and penalties are discussed. The status of tax preparers should be assessed to avoid risk exposure.
