I.R.A. accounts, wages, employers, etc. Every piece of financial data is usually given to your preparer at income tax time. I have seen people hand over this information to some guy they met in a bar ( who works out of the trunk of his car!). Is that crazy or what! Always know who you are dealing with. Always make sure they are licensed. Otherwise, you just might be giving away all your precious information to a criminal. Make sureWatch out for identity Theft. Identity theft is another major concern that has now infiltrated every aspect of our lives…from p.o. boxes, credit cards, bank accounts to income tax returns our information is being gathered and abused all over the country by criminals. The IRS recently released the following:

“Identity Theft:

It pays to be choosy when it comes to disclosing personal information. Identity thieves have used stolen personal data to access financial accounts, run up charges on credit cards and apply for new loans. The IRS is aware of several identity theft scams involving taxes or scammers posing as the IRS itself. The IRS does not use e-mail to contact taxpayers about issues related to their accounts. If you have any doubt whether a contact from the IRS is authentic call 800-829-1040 to confirm it.

Frivolous Arguments:

Promoters have been known to make outlandish claims that the Sixteenth Amendment concerning congressional power to establish and collect income taxes was never ratified; that wages are not income; that filing a return and paying taxes are merely voluntary; and that being required to file Form 1040 violates the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination or the Fourth Amendment right to privacy. Don’t believe these or other similar claims. Such arguments are false and have been thrown out of court. Taxpayers have the right to contest their tax liabilities in court but no one has the right to disobey the law.”

The above are more good reasons for hiring Licensed CPA’s to do your Income tax preparation. No one, not even your lawyer ( sometimes even the spouse) learns as much about your investments, account numbers, balances, addresses, social security accounts, I.R.A. accounts, wages, employers, etc. Every piece of financial data is usually given to your preparer at income tax time.
