New Overview on Tax Ret Preparer Requirements

[S T]

NAEA - furnished this in their Friday email.

It is much easier to understand the requirements.

Proposal pending!!!! HUH???

So background checks on all classes are now "proposals pending".

As an EA I have already gone through this when I applied for my credentials.

So now all EA's, CPA's & JD'S must do it again?? And how often?

Time to get NAEA, AICPA & etc. involved.

While I like the idea of the OPR demanding registration of unenrolled preparers, I have done my time & paid my dues (and still do).

What say you, other fellow enrolled preparers?

Background Check

I don't understand why a background check is a problem. They won't have the resources to thoroughly check into everyone so there will be some randomness and I trust an emphasis on checking into those who have been disciplined or otherwise have provided reasonable grounds for suspicion.

I thought a basic background check was done on EA's when we submitted our renewals, thus the reason for the renewal app? They don't or haven't accept when I first applies way back when?
