How To Choose A Tax Professional Wisely - Part 4
To finish our examination of what to look for when
choosing a Tax Professional, we will take a brief look at Representation Rights
before the IRS. The goal is to always have a quick and easy filing, but
complications do come up at times. It’s always good to know what your preparer
can do before those situations
happen.
Unlimited Representation Rights.
Professionals with the following credentials may represent any taxpayer on any
matter before the IRS: Enrolled agents (licensed by the IRS), Certified Public
Accountants, and attorneys. This is true if they signed the filing in question
or not.
Limited Representation Rights. A Tax
Professional that does not hold one of the above credentials is able to
represent taxpayers, only if they were the tax preparer for that filing. If
they did not sign the Tax Return in question, the Tax Professional is unable to
represent the taxpayer. Having an understanding of these rights could give
added confidence when making this necessary decision. What do you think?
