How to Scare your Tax Preparer

If you want to put a scare into your tax preparer, bring him a shoe box full of receipts to sort and put on the tax return. We don't really need most receipts and would much prefer just the totaled amounts for items like medical expenses and business expenses. However the shoe box full of receipts is important to keep in case you ever get audited by the IRS. Then it comes in real handy. We do want copies of all documents that the IRS get a copy of like 1099s, W-2s, and K-1s so we can make sure the numbers we put on your tax return are the same.
