Zicklin Professor Offers Tips for Choosing a Tax Preparer
Associate Professor of Tax Law at the Zicklin School of Business Steven Melnik offers helpful advice to those who are looking for a tax preparer during this year’s tax season. His tips include advice on how to choose a preparer and what to look for in a professional. Professor Melnik notes that it is important to choose a tax preparer wisely for your tax return filing because in the end, you are responsible for what is reported.
“The biggest mistake that people make when searching for a tax preparer is that people will go to whoever will get them the biggest refund,” said Melnik. “People don’t do their due-dilligence and don’t do the research.”
