I had a debate with a colleague about this, and I can't find any authoritative guidance to determine who's correct -
anyway - the question is:
Is there anything preventing a tax preparer from requiring the client to pay for the tax return preparation prior to filing the tax return?
Does anyone have any guidance from the AICPA or an insurance carrier that would indicate that requiring payment is an acceptable practice? If so, would you please send me a link, etc.
Thanks!
