Most people will gladly pay a professional to prepare their tax returns, deal with their tax headaches and give them advice, but how do you find the best preparer for your needs? First of all, the big “return mills” have three things in common:
- The preparers are poorly trained seasonal help. In a best case scenario, they will enter the information you give them without regard to optimizing your filing or asking questions.
- More returns equals more money for these big corporations, so they don’t give you the time you deserve. You are just one of many customers and good luck if you need help after the filing season.
- They are expensive and add on costly services without explanation. Most won’t even give you an estimate when you book your appointment.
The IRS recommends to stay away from preparers who guarantee extra large refunds or promise you that you won’t be audited. Preparer fees have to be based on time and/or volume and type of the return; nobody is allowed to charge you a percentage of your refund. A reputable preparer will be registered with the IRS, have a PTIN (preparer tax ID number) and use professional software to e-file your return.
