IRS Warns Tax Preparers about EITC

Preparers Suspected of Filing Inaccurate EITC Claims to Receive Warning Letters During October and November of 2012, we are sending out letters to preparers suspected of filing inaccurate EITC claims. There are two sets of letters. One group of letters is titled, You may have violated tax law by submitting inaccurate returns. We are sending out these letters to preparers who filed returns with questionable claims for EITC. The letters pinpoint the primary issues identified on the returns, talk about the consequences of filing inaccurate claims for EITC, and lets the preparer know we will continue to monitor the types of claims for EITC they file. For more information and examples of the letters, see our section, Reaching out to Preparers. Also, we are sending Letter 4833 as part of Real Time EITC Preparer Pilot program.
