It used to be that people just wanted a tax return preparer who could “save them the most tax” or get them the “largest refund,” but nowadays, you have to also ensure your tax preparer takes steps to avoid being scammed out of your personal information!  One tip the IRS recommends is to choose a tax preparer who works year-round.
