Many tax preparers may not have credentials, making it important to vet them carefully. The IRS receives millions of tax returns from paid preparers, but there are no federal licensing requirements. Certified public accountants, enrolled agents, and attorneys typically have higher competency standards. To vet a tax preparer, consider their fee structure, availability, and ask for referrals from friends and associates. The IRS has a database of credentialed preparers and you can check CPA and attorney licenses through state boards. Enrolled agents can have their licenses checked by emailing the IRS.
