Tax Return Preparer

A tax return preparer is a professional who helps individuals and businesses complete and file their annual tax reports with the government. They ensure that all income, deductions, and credits are accurately calculated and reported, complying with tax laws. Tax preparers can be certified professionals like CPAs or enrolled agents, or non-credentialed personnel. Their role is to make the complex process of tax filing more manageable, minimize errors, and help clients optimize their tax returns for savings or refunds.
