The IRS’s goal is to turn preparers into their collection arm  That’s the whole purpose of the new “more likely than not” standards and Sec 6694 preparer penalties. The standards for tax preparers are higher than for the taxpayers themselves.  I never file a return with anything in it that I know is wrong or false.  But I do take some aggressive positions which possibly wouldn’t meet MLTN.  I’m not anxious to find out, because if I lose, I get a minimum $1000 preparer penalty.

 

Given this new adversarial environment, I am not going to make it easier for the IRS to come after me or my clients.  Paper-filed returns make it harder; it’s just that simple. I will continue to represent my clients, not the IRS.
