Stiffens penalties and oversight for tax preparers to protect taxpayers.
This bill would make it harder for dishonest tax preparers to operate by increasing penalties and setting new rules for their identification numbers. It aims to protect everyday Americans who rely on paid professionals to file their taxes. Tax preparers would face stricter requirements and higher fines for misconduct.
Today, tax preparers face certain penalties for errors or misconduct, but the IRS has limited direct authority over their identification numbers. Penalties for some failures are lower, and there are fewer explicit requirements for preparer education or suitability. After this bill, penalties for various preparer failures would significantly increase, and the IRS would have direct power to deny, suspend, or revoke preparer identification numbers. There would also be new criminal penalties for willful misuse of these numbers, and new educational and suitability requirements for preparers.
