Don’t use someone who bases his fee on the size of your refund. And always have your refund sent directly to you or your bank account. Never have the IRS deposit it directly into your tax preparer’s bank account.
Work with preparers who can e-file your return. Tax professionals who prepare more than 10 returns must be able to file returns electronically, which is the safest and most accurate way to file, according to the IRS.
