HOT TOPIC OF THE DAY - REGULATING TAX PREPARERS

.
My recent wanderings around the blogosphere indicates that one of the biggest topics of the day involves IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman’s recent announcement of plans to “propose a comprehensive set of recommendations to help the Internal Revenue Service better leverage the tax return preparer community with the twin goals of increasing taxpayer compliance and ensuring uniform and high ethical standards of conduct for tax preparers”.

Check out these blog posts on the subject –
