Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance for Tax Preparers
Tax preparers prepare tax returns for individuals, businesses, and other entities. Tax preparers can be part of a solo operation or can be employed by a service firm that specializes in tax preparation or accounting services. Tax preparers can be CPAs, enrolled agents, tax attorneys, or may also be unlicensed tax preparation professionals in some states.Individuals and businesses seek the services of tax preparers in large part because of the complexity of income tax laws. Tax preparers typically work with a tax preparation software which lowers the frequency of errors and omissions. Tax preparers can also provide advice to their clients on how to lower their tax liability.
