Smart Ideas To Save You Time and Money on your Taxes

Bad tax preparers

Most paid tax preparers provide a valuable service. But as with any profession, there are always a few bad apples. Keep in mind that even in cases where someone else is preparing the return, the taxpayer is ultimately responsible for the information, and is liable for any additional taxes, interest and penalties that the IRS may impose.

Be skeptical of a preparer who claims the ability to get larger refunds than their peers.

And you should avoid anyone who bases their fees on a percentage of the refund.

Never sign a blank tax return.

Last year, some 123 tax preparers were sentenced to prison for "preparer fraud." It stands to reason that they didn't make life any easier for the people whose returns they prepared.

Most, if not all, of the returns they prepared were examined by the IRS.
