How to verify this preparer

Every preparer listed on TaxPrepFinder can be cross-checked against the IRS Return Preparer Office public directory using the PTIN shown above. The IRS provides a free Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications at irs.treasury.gov/rpo/rpo.jsf. Search by last name, ZIP code, or credential to confirm an active filing-season status.

Confirming credentials directly with the issuing authority is always recommended before engaging any preparer for a complex matter.
