State Tax Department Posts Info on Tax Return Preparer Registration

Submitted by Colleen Lutolf on Tue, 09/22/2009 - 10:55

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance has finally posted information on its Web site about its new tax return preparer registration requirements.

There is not much new information available except that the department will have an online registration page available in November.

New York-licensed CPAs are exempt from this law. You can see a list of who else is exempt here.

A bill (A9028) to repeal the law was passed in the Assembly during the summer, but after it was referred to the Senate Rules Committee, no action has been taken.
