Excerpt from an article
at MSN Money Central:
...Be very careful who prepares your tax return
Stay away from any preparer who “guarantees”
a refund, or who gets paid on the basis of how much you get back. Remember
that what you get back is a function of how much you had estimated or
withheld in the first place. The IRS has a hit list of preparers with a
history of problems, and clients of these preparers are more likely to be
audited.
Be afraid, very afraid, of any tax preparer who
knows tax-planning techniques that no one else knows...
Steer clear of questionable shelters
Stay away from tax shelters that promise you
deductions so large you actually “make money” on the tax savings. They
are typically based on an over-valuation of assets on which the IRS can
nail you in an audit. If a shelter seems too good to be real, it's
probably not legitimate. For more on tax shelters that work and those that
don't, see "Tax
shelters still exist and can save you money."
