RE: PRESS RELEASE - CONSUMER BILL OF RIGHTS REGARDING TAX PREPARERS
Taxpayers who use the services of paid tax preparers are entitled to protection from unfair treatment, according to the Ulster County District Attorney’s Division of Consumer Affairs (340-3260).
While most tax preparers act within the law and treat their clients fairly, there are some that don’t. The Consumer Bill of Rights Regarding Tax Preparers describes your rights and contains important information about how to protect yourself from unfair practices. This publication is available from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance website at www.tax.ny.gov, or call 518-457-5181.
