Michael Best, Senior Policy Advocate at the Consumer Federation of America, discusses CFA’s recent national poll results where 4 out of 5 respondents believe paid tax preparers should have to pass a competency test, be licensed and provide a list of fees before completing a tax return.

Michael highlights the poll results, discusses the current state of regulation, the high instance of consumer use, the documented problems with paid preparers, and how consumers can find a credentialed preparer on Consumer Talk with Michael Finney on KGO 810 and Money Life with Chuck Jaffe.
