Logistics for the Tax Return Preparer Review Public Forum: July 30, 2009
Location: Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center Amphitheater, Washington, DC

**The public forum will begin promptly at 9:00 AM. Please note that the Ronald Reagan Building requires a photo I.D. for entrance. The amphitheater is located on the concourse level. Please see the Ronald Reagan Building website for further information.

Notes: We are hoping that all this talk won't affect California tax preparers. We are tested each year, due to the dozens and dozens of new tax laws that take effect each year. We have to be bonded and adhere to strict policies.

The problem seems to be, that the majority of states do NOT require their tax preparers to be licensed or registered and as a result, many preparers are completing tax returns incorrectly.

It also appears that the IRS may be deciding to take on the burden of making sure tax preparers are qualified.
