Congress May Give IRS Authority To License Tax Preparers - should they?
RP Members what does this mean for taxpayers? Congress, IRS and the Taxpayer Advocate believe that it means better service and more competent representation. What do you think?

Last year, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Commissioner John Koskinen announced the Annual Filing Season Program, a voluntary and temporary program intended to fill the holes left after the IRS lost the right to regulate tax preparers following Loving v. Commissioner. At the time, Commissioner Koskinen called the program “not the ideal solution” and was hopeful that Congress would enact a proposal that would give the IRS the authority for mandatory oversight of return preparers.

Just another way to get more money...charging for classes, charging to take the exam and charging for the license....then charging for continuing education classes and license renewal.
I had H & R Block do my taxes once and I ended up owing a bunch of money, but come to find out a few years later, I should have not...I have used Turbo Tax since and am totally satisfied with it.

I'm with you about Turbo Tax. Once I found out that if you call and talk to an IRS Agent and get an answer to your question they state that you can't rely on the accuracy of the information they give out. Hmm!

I do my own taxes. All I see this as is another big Government grab. More control is all they care about...

1stSgt (Join to see) - that is why you stop using them, the more you use them how is possible you trash it?
In this case, give them more power ... it will only make it harder to abolish it. a flat tax would pretty much eliminated IRS. :)
