What is a Tax Preparer?
I am not a CPA or an Enrolled Agent. I am a Tax Preparer. What does that mean exactly? I’m glad you asked.
A Tax Preparer is someone who prepares tax returns but is not an auditor or bookkeeper.
Tax preparers are not expected to verify every number and detail provided by their clients unless they know something is incorrect or incomplete. This is stated in Circular 230. The public should understand that a Tax Preparer is not a Tax Advisor either and should not be expected to give tax advice.
A Tax Preparer is only responsible for preparing the tax return based on the information provided by the client. The job of a Tax Preparer is regulated by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) through Circular No. 230, which must be followed by individuals involved with tax administration and tax returns.
The Tax Preparer is supposed to advise clients of errors or omissions found in the information provided, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the client. Anyone with a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) can become a Tax Preparer, but the OPR regulates their activities.
