Don’t be victim to a ‘ghost’ tax return preparer The Internal Revenue Service warned taxpayers to avoid unethical tax return preparers, known as "ghost preparers". By law, anyone who is paid to prepare or assist in preparing federal tax returns must have a valid 2019 Preparer Tax Identification Number, or PTIN. Paid preparers must sign the return and include their PTIN.... But ‘ghost’ preparers do not sign the return. Instead, they print the return and tell the taxpayer to sign and mail it to the IRS. Or, for e-filed returns, they prepare but refuse to digitally sign it as the paid preparer. Ghost tax return preparers may also: > Require payment in cash only and not provide a receipt. > Invent income to erroneously qualify their clients for tax credits or claim fake deductions to boost their refunds. > Direct refunds into their own bank account rather than the taxpayer’s account. According to the IRS, similar to other tax preparation schemes, dishonest and unscrupulous ghost tax return preparers look to make a fast buck by promising a big refund or charging fees based on a percentage of the refund. These scammers hurt honest taxpayers who are simply trying to do the right thing and file a legitimate tax return. BEWARE OF THE 'SELF-PREPARED" source: irs.gov
