Tax Return Preparer Sanctions & Penalties

Tax Preparer Liability

The Internal Revenue Service is watching tax preparers more closely than ever. If you are a tax preparer who is facing an investigation for possible fraud, you should put your case in the hands of a knowledgeable tax lawyer as soon as possible.

Tax Preparers Held to High Standards

Professional tax preparers are held to high standards and are subject to substantial penalties if the IRS suspects fraud in the preparation of tax returns. Any understatement of income or overstatement of deductions could result in a taxpayer audit. If you were aware of the inaccuracy as a tax preparer or failed to adequately investigate the tax item, you could be subject to significant fines and penalties.

In addition, the Revenue Agent may report you to the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility. This division of the IRS could suspend you from future practice if your actions were negligent, reckless or intentional. Our lawyers can represent you before the Office of Professional Responsibility to protect your livelihood.

Put experience on your side: Stephen McFarlane is a tax lawyer  who has been practicing law for  28 years.
