How to choose a tax preparer you can trust

Look for a tax preparer with a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) from the IRS, and ask if they're an enrolled agent, CPA, or tax attorney. Check their history with the Better Business Bureau and your state's board of accountancy. A trustworthy preparer will ask for your past returns, receipts, and W-2s, and will sign your return as a paid preparer. Avoid anyone who guarantees a huge refund or bases their fee on a percentage of it.
