Keep an eye out for these 3 major traps:

๐Ÿšฉ Any paid preparer must sign your return and include their PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number). If they tell you to file it yourself as "self-prepared," theyโ€™re dodging accountability for any mistakes (or fraud).

๐Ÿšฉ If they charge a percentage of your return, they have a big incentive to tweak the numbers to inflate their own paycheck. Professional fees should be flat or hourly.

๐Ÿšฉ No legitimate pro can guarantee a bigger refund than the competition before seeing your docs. "Secret" deductions or fake credits are just audit-bait that will cost you more in penalties later.

Don't let a deal on tax prep turn into a legal nightmare. Search for a tax advisor carefully.
