What to know about Tax preparers
The bar to preparing other people's federal returns for money is low and the IRS says so openly: anyone can be a paid tax return preparer as long as they have an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number. There is no federal licence, no mandatory examination and no required training. Credentials exist, but they are voluntary, and the gap between the best and worst preparers in any strip mall is enormous.
