Why have us prepare your tax return?
• Today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a simple return can be confusing. Then, you are not sure that you didn't overlook a deduction or credit. Even if you use a computer software program, you can't replace the knowledge or experience of a seasoned tax preparer..
• The National Taxpayer Advocate’s 2012 annual report designates the complexity of the tax code as the #1 most serious problem facing taxpayers. The report states that the tax code imposes a “significant, even unconscionable, burden on taxpayers.”
• Since 2001, Congress has made nearly 5,000 changes to the tax code, an average of more than one a day, and the number of words in the code appears to have reached nearly four million. Individual taxpayers find return preparation so overwhelming that few do it on their own. Nearly 60 percent of taxpayers hire paid preparers, and another 30 percent rely on commercial software, with leading software packages costing $50 or more.
• The number of tax-related identity theft incidents has increased substantially in recent years. Within the Taxpayer Advocate Service, identity theft case receipts increased by more than 650 percent from FY 2008 to FY 2012. At the end of FY 2012, the IRS had almost 650,000 identity-theft cases in its inventory servicewide. The problem has grown worse as organized criminal actors have found ways to steal the Social Security numbers (SSNs) of taxpayers, file tax returns using those taxpayers’ names and SSNs, and obtain fraudulent tax refunds. Then, when the real taxpayer files a return claiming the refund, that return is rejected. It can take over half a hear for the IRS to resolve a case and for the taxpayer to receive their refund.
• Today's tax laws are so complicated that filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. It is just too easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled. Even if you use a computer software program there's no substitute for the assistance of an experienced tax professional.
