Title: How To Find the Best Tax Preparer in Fort Lauderdale?

How To Find the Best Tax Preparer in Fort
Lauderdale?
2
Tax Preparer
  • Tax return preparers have been a pointed target
    of IRS in recent years, both from a civil
    preparer penalty perspective as well as a
    criminal investigative perspective.
  • When it comes to filing taxes in Fort Lauderdale,
    there are two types of people. There are those
    who rely on a professional tax preparer. And
    there are others who prefer to do it themselves.
  • If you fit into the first group, it is vital to
    select an experienced and knowledgeable tax
    professional to provide the most accurate
    service. Making the wrong decision can make the
    difference between receiving a refund or owing
    money to the IRS.

Tax Identification Number
  • Plenty of tax preparation professionals are
    licensed. But how do you know which ones are best
    for you? One way to find out is to ask for their
    preparer tax identification number.
  • Each licensed tax preparer is required by the IRS
    to have a PTIN. If you have any doubts about your
    tax professional, go with someone else. To help
    ensure protection, ask the preparer to place
    their PTIN on your tax return.
  • Keep in mind not all tax preparers in Fort
    Lauderdale are the same. It is fairly easy to
    obtain a PTIN. Depending on whether it is a CPA,
    Fort Lauderdale tax attorney or enrolled agent,
    ask for their credentials.

4
What the charges? Compare prices
  • Various tax professionals charge different fees.
    The average Fort Lauderdale tax preparer charges
    273 for filing a return along with an itemized
    Form 1040. Most reputable tax preparers charge by
    the hour. Beware of anyone who charges fees based
    on the amount of your refund. This is usually a
    red flag. Also be wary of those who promise
    bigger refunds than other tax preparers. Also
    beware the average tax professional will charge
    144 per hour to assist with an IRS audit.
  • Tax return preparers who dont follow the letter
    of the law and rules have great exposure to the
    assessment of huge penalties and criminal
    prosecution.

What to keep in mind
  • Make Sure Your Tax Preparer EFiles
  • All licensed tax preparation professionals who
    handle more than 10 tax returns are required to
    file electronically with the IRS. Generally those
    who dont e-file are typically inexperienced or
    do not properly understand tax law.
  • Make Sure Your Tax Preparer Signs The Return
  • It may sound obvious. But each tax return must be
    signed by the preparer. Yet, far too many returns
    are unsigned. Most are honest mistakes. They must
    also provide the PITNs. Never sign a blank a
    return.
