Bill overview
This bill aims to increase accountability for tax return preparers who aren't already regulated by the IRS. It directs the Treasury Department to create and enforce regulations for these preparers, allowing them to impose a $1,000 penalty for each tax return or document prepared if the preparer is out of compliance or suspended. The bill also provides a defense against penalties if the failure to comply was due to reasonable cause. The goal is to protect taxpayers from potentially negligent or fraudulent tax preparation.
