IRS Challenged

I was supposed to be part of this suit, but realized that I just don't have the capacity at this time to endure the expected media scrutiny.

The IRS just doesn't have the authority to register and license tax preparers, and their move to do so is both illegal and discriminatory, and full of lies. The discriminatory part is that testing is required for those who are not CPA's, attorneys, or enrolled agents. Many, many CPA's have NO knowledge of tax, but practice in the large business world full of different rules. We answer many questions on the taxpro board from them with the most elementary questions. Yet because they have other credentials, they get a free pass, while those of us who have done taxes for two dozen years must prove our knowledge. Attorneys are sadly notorious for not even bothering to file their own returns...and yet also get a free pass. And all the unemployed carpenters working at H&R, Jackson Hewitt and the like, get a free pass since they are 'supposedly' supervised and each return checked by a licensed preparer. Right.

So the lie is that this whole thing is to protect you, the public, from incompetent prepares. Which, as you can see, it does not. For incompetent CPA's, attorneys, and carpenters will still be allowed to prepare taxes. Someone's money is involved, the only question is who's paying it and to whom to play this game?

We wait to see how this turns out, but this org behind the suit has great success in stopping out of control government.
