Consejos esenciales para elegir a un profesional de impuestos

A estas alturas, las personas deben haber recibido la mayoría de sus documentos tributarios así que es hora de preparase para presentar sus declaraciones de impuestos federales. Más de la mitad de los contribuyentes contratan a un profesional de impuestos para ayudar a preparar sus declaraciones. Sin importar quién prepare su declaración de impuestos, el contribuyente es responsable de toda la información en la declaración. Por eso es importante ejercer cuidado al elegir a un profesional de impuestos.

Consejos para elegir a un profesional de impuestos:

Disponibilidad: Elija a un preparador que esté disponible después de la temporada de impuestos en caso de que tenga preguntas después de haber presentado.
Tarifas de servicio: Pregunte por las tarifas de servicio del preparador. Contribuyentes deben evitar a preparadores de declaraciones de impuestos que basan sus tarifas en un porcentaje del reembolso.
e-file del IRS: Asegúrese que el preparador ofrezca e-file del IRS. El IRS emite la mayoría de los reembolsos en menos de 21 días a contribuyentes que presenten electrónicamente, elijan depósito directo y presenten una declaración completa y precisa.
Registros y recibos: Los preparadores hábiles le pedirán ver estos documentos para poder llenar su declaración precisamente.
Cualificaciones: Entienda las credenciales y cualificaciones (en inglés) del preparador. Revise su historial para ver si tiene quejas o acciones disciplinarias.
Revise antes de firmar: Siempre revise su declaración de impuestos antes de firmar. Pregunte si algo no está claro o parece incorrecto. Nunca firme una declaración en blanco o incompleta.
Información de cuenta bancaria correcta: Asegúrese de que cualquier reembolso vaya directo a la cuenta bancaria del contribuyente – no a la cuenta bancaria del preparador. Revise los números de ruta y cuenta bancaria en la declaración completa para confirmar que estén correctos.

Por ley, cualquier persona que cobre para preparar o asistir en la preparación de una declaración de impuestos federales debe tener un número de identificación de preparador de declaraciones de impuestos (en inglés). Los preparadores que cobren por servicios deben firmar e incluir su PTIN en cualquier declaración de impuestos que preparen. No firmar una declaración, prometer una cantidad de reembolso inusualmente grande o cobrar tarifas basadas en la cantidad del reembolso son señales de que el preparador pueda estar buscando hacer una ganancia rápida. Contribuyentes deben evitar a estos preparadores.

Quejas de un preparador

El fraude cometido por preparadores de declaraciones de impuestos es una estafa tributaria común. El IRS provee consejos sobre evitar a preparadores de impuestos sin escrúpulos. Contribuyentes también pueden presentar una queja si fueron afectados económicamente por la mala conducta o práctica de un preparador de declaraciones de impuestos.

Quick tips for picking a tax pro

By now, people should have received most of their tax documents so it's time to get ready to file their federal tax returns. More than one half of taxpayers use a paid tax professional to help prepare their return. Regardless of who prepares the tax return, the taxpayer is responsible for all the information on it. This is why it's important to choose a tax pro carefully.

Tips for choosing a tax professional:

Availability: Choose a preparer that's available after filing season in case questions come up after filing.
Service fees: Ask about the preparer's service fees. Taxpayers should avoid tax return preparers who base their fees on a percentage of the refund.
IRS e-file: Ensure their preparer offers IRS e-file. The IRS issues most refunds in fewer than 21 days for taxpayers who file electronically and choose direct deposit and file a complete and accurate return.
Records and receipts: Good preparers ask to see these documents to complete the return accurately.
Qualifications: Understand the preparer's credentials and qualifications. Check their history for complaints or disciplinary actions.
Review before signing: Always review the tax return before signing it. Ask questions if something is unclear or appears incorrect. Never sign a blank or incomplete return.
Accurate account information: Make sure any refund goes directly into the taxpayer's bank account – not into the preparer's bank account. Review the routing and bank account number on the completed return to confirm it's accurate.

By law, anyone who is paid to prepare or assists in preparing federal tax returns must have a valid preparer tax identification number. Paid preparers must sign and include their PTIN on any tax return they prepare. Not signing a return, promising an unusually large refund or charging fees based on the size of the refund are red flags that the preparer may be looking to make a quick profit. Taxpayers should avoid these preparers.

Complaints about a preparer
Tax return preparer fraud is a common tax scam. The IRS provides tips on avoiding unscrupulous tax preparers. Taxpayers can also file a complaint if they've been financially harmed by a tax return preparer's misconduct or improper tax preparation practices.

National Taxpayer Advocate delivers annual report to Congress

The report identifies the 10 most serious problems business and individual taxpayers are experiencing when dealing with the IRS and makes administrative and legislative recommendations to address those problems.

Some key points include recommending credentials for federal tax return preparers, timely processing claims for credit or refund and providing consistent tax relief for victims of federally declared disasters.

Submission of 2024 Time-of-Sale Reports Ends February 28; Advance Payments Must be Repaid on Returns and Cancellations

As previously communicated, effective March 1, 2026, you will no longer be able to submit late time of sale reports for calendar year 2024 sales through the ECO portal.

Take action now to submit all time-of-sale reports. Timely submission will help your customers avoid delays or issues when claiming the credit on their tax returns.

To help prevent processing delays, you can upload any supporting documentation – such as deal jackets, documents pertaining to the clean vehicle credit, or other relevant records – through the ECO portal when submitting time of sale reports, edits, returns and cancellations.

Remember to Repay the Advance Payment of the Clean Vehicle Credit When Returning or Cancelling a Time of Sale Report

Make payment through Pay.gov on receipt of the invoice and access code sent to the email address associated with the dealer's advance payment registration. Payment should be made within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. Payment will not be automatically debited.

If you are unable to locate the email containing the invoice and access code, please contact the IRS at irs.clean.vehicles.dealer.info@irs.gov to request a new one.

For more information on the expiration of the clean vehicle credits, see Fact Sheet 2025-05.
