• Make sure the preparer is available. Some tax preparers only work on a seasonal basis. Taxpayers should consider whether the tax return preparer will be around after the ling deadline has passed. Taxpayers should do this because they might need the preparer to answer questions about the prepa- ration of the tax return.
• Ensure the preparer signs and includes their preparer tax identi cation number. Paid tax return preparers must have a PTIN to prepare tax returns. Preparers must also sign returns and include their PTIN.
• Understand the preparer’s credentials. Enrolled agents, CPAs, and attorneys have unlimited practice rights and can represent taxpayers on any tax mat- ter before the IRS. However, tax return preparers
who participate in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program have limited practice rights. They must have prepared and signed the tax return and can only represent the taxpayer for Taxpayer Advocate Service and customer service activities, only before any examination of the tax return.
How to check for proper withholding estimates:
I urge you to check their tax withholding while there’s time left in 2022 to bene t from any nec- essary changes. The Tax Withholding Estimator, can help people determine if they have too much or too little income tax withheld and how to make an adjustment.
