Tax return preparers suspected of filing inaccurate EITC claims to be targeted by IRS

(JofA) - The IRS announced in an email to tax practitioners that it will send letters in November and December to return preparers “suspected of filing inaccurate EITC [earned income tax credit] claims” .

Last time IRS sent those Preparer warning/concern letters for Sch C filings, I got a few referrals.

This time around I really don't want anymore EITC client referrals!

This makes me doubly glad I refuse to prepare EIC returns.

I only prepare one EIC return--for a mentally-challenged grocery sacker. He lives with his parents but his Soc Security plus his earnings from the grocery store are enough to cover half of his support.
