This is still true but I also want to add:

— Check your return! If you have a fictions Sch C (business) that you really didn’t have. Run!! The IRS will catch up to you and you will be responsible not the preparer.

Please don't be taken advantage of...

--Be cautious of tax preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers. Keep in mind there are firms out there (locally) that will get you huge refunds with inaccurate data and then profit off you by charging you as much as $400-600.

--Avoid preparers who base their fee on a percentage of the refund.

--Avoid preparers who inflate refunds with fictitious information and then charge you $400-600 because "you won't really notice it."

--Reputable preparers will ask to see receipts and will ask multiple questions to determine whether expenses, deductions and other items qualify. By doing so, they are trying to help their clients avoid penalties, interest or additional taxes that could result from an IRS examination.

Tax evasion is a risky crime, a felony, punishable by five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. Don't make some firm rich while you take the fall!
