California law defines only four types of tax preparers raffle ticket printing software who can prepare your tax return for a fee: An attorney , certified public accountant (CPA) , IRS enrolled agent (EA) or a tax preparer registered raffle ticket printing software with the California Tax Education Council (CTEC) . If the tax preparer cannot be verified as one of those four tax preparers, walk away and report the individual to CTEC at www.ctec.org .
As of 2011, all tax preparers who prepare federal tax returns for a fee must have a valid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) from the IRS. Tax preparers who do not have a valid PTIN are breaking IRS regulations.
Paid tax preparers are required by law to sign your tax return and include their PTIN on it. If the tax preparer says it is not required or refuses to sign it, report the individual to CTEC at ctec.org .
It is always good to ask if the tax preparer has a list of associated costs for different services. Avoid tax preparers who base the fee on a percentage of your refund or claim they can obtain larger refunds than their competitors.
CTEC-registered tax preparers raffle ticket printing software (CRTPs) are the only tax preparers required by law to obtain a $5,000 surety bond to protect clients against fraud. If the tax preparer is a CRTP and refuses to share his/her bond information, call CTEC.
Some tax preparers raffle ticket printing software may carry errors and omissions insurance to protect raffle ticket printing software themselves against a potential mistake or error made on a client's tax return. Insurance is not a requirement for tax preparers, but it is always good information to know.
