Caution is key, says the Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Teams in this brief interview with A Gathering of Experts.

Tax Season has come and gone but the Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team says that next year is coming fast. Today, A Gathering of Experts invites the Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team – experts on the IRS – to ask questions about something most Americans give little thought to: selecting a tax preparer.

A Gathering of Experts: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule – we certainly appreciate it.

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: As always, it is our pleasure.

A Gathering of Experts: Let’s get started… With all of the talk about fraud lately, don’t most people verify their tax preparer as legitimate?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: Sadly, no. Many people assume having an office equates to having an honest staff; it doesn’t.

A Gathering of Experts: What should someone look for when searching for a tax company to file their yearly returns?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: First and foremost, if it sounds too good to be true, well, it just might not be true.

A Gathering of Experts: That applies to all areas of life.

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: Yes it does. We also tell people to approach with caution if a firm claims they can get a bigger return than another company because they know “insider secrets.”

A Gathering of Experts: What should one look for, as far as fees go?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: We suggest only dealing with flat fees, which are given in writing up-front.

A Gathering of Experts: Should the tax preparer be willing to sign the documents?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: Yes, if they say they cannot, then run.

A Gathering of Experts: Is the taxpayer responsible for false information?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: Ultimately, yes. The person whose name is on the return is the one Uncle Sam will come after.

A Gathering of Experts: Who can represent a taxpayer in front of the IRS?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: Many people think just any person who knows taxes can do this but that isn’t so. Only a select group of professionals, including CPAs, enrolled agents, and attorneys are allowed to stand for a taxpayer.

A Gathering of Experts: Does the IRS keep tabs on fraudulent firms?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: They do, indeed. These people, when convicted, face up to 5 years behind bars as well as major fines.

A Gathering of Experts: Can you cite examples?

Instant Tax Solutions Ratings Team: One that comes to mind involves a Texas tax preparer who got sentenced to prison for 18 years after being found guilty of 40 counts of tax fraud.

A Gathering of Experts: Now that is a steep punishment. Before we go, can you tell us how taxpayers may contact Instant Tax Solutions if they’re in need of tax help?
