Before you rush out and get your taxes done, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises you to check your tax preparer’s BBB Business Review and be aware of pitfalls that trip up taxpayers every year.
BBB Business Reviews are a great way to check out any business, including accountants and other tax professionals. The reviews list any complaints filed against a business in the last three years. They rate companies A+ to F based on 16 factors, including how long they’ve been in business and how they respond to complaints.
