A push towards cleaning up the preparation business of taxes
was advocated by the Obama administration. In the past few years, tax preparers
have drained the U.S. Treasury and taxpayers and the Obama administration has
asked Congress to pass a law that will permit the Internal Revenue Service to
regulate preparers. In a successful court case, the U.S. Court Appeals for the
District of Columbia ruled that Congress did not give the IRS the power to require
continued education and test taking on tax-return preparers. The
Republican-controlled House of Representatives, a Republican who takes part in
the Ways and Means Committee stated it is not in their interest to form such a
law. Committee Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Dave Camps-R, said the
IRS’s request is under appraisal.
