"GHOST" Tax Preparers

Dishonest and unscrupulous tax preparers, including some who are “ghost" tax preparers, perpetuate refund fraud and scams that hurt honest taxpayers who are simply trying to do the right thing and file a legitimate tax return. Dishonest preparers look to make a fast buck by promising a big refund,

sometimes charging fees based on a percentage of the refund. These shady preparers may also:

*Require payment in cash only and not provide a receipt.

*Invent income to erroneously qualify their clients for tax credits or claim fake deductions to enable the taxpayer to get a larger refund.

*Direct refunds into their own financial account rather than the taxpayer’s account.

The IRS urges taxpayers to review their tax return carefully and ask questions if something is not clear before they sign and file it with the IRS.(IRS.GOV)
