Oh, No, he didn’t, yes, yes he did…(Undercover IRS Visits)

Expect more undercover IRS secret shoppers and undercover office visits.  In light of a recent incident involving a volunteer preparer, these visits will be increasing in numbers.  These visits are designed to unsure compliance with the IRS regulations, and almost everyone knows about them.  The recent incident regards a volunteer tax preparer who told a taxpayer that he did not need to report cash income that he received.  The undercover quality reviewer, who also happened to be a Treasury Inspector, made up some story about money being tight, the economy is bad, the area is out of money, etc.  The preparer disregarded his better judgement when he gave this advice, which caused the location to be closed, along with another location where the same preparers volunteered.
