WEE PALS by Morrie Turner ITS GOOD TO KNOW VA PROVIDES MEDICAL CARE FOR ELIGIBLE VrrgRANS Americans are a pretty adventuresome people. We like to try new products, challenge the elements, and explore the unknown. About the only tljing that give us a case of cold feeN^ doing our own federal income tax return. For that, we'll throw in the towel and pay someone to take over. If you're one of the millions \ who will use the services of a commercial preparer this year, the Internal Revenue Service reminds you to select that person with care. By law, you are responsible for what is on your return no matter who fills it out. Unlike doctors and lawyers, returns preparers do not go through a licensing procedure. Although most are honest and competent, a few are not. According to the IRS, those who are dishonest usually send out signals that should warn you to go somewhere else. What are they? One of the easiest to spot is the person who claims to have inside knowledge of the IRS computer system. Such persons may even claim to kow the formula IRS uses to select returns for examination. In reality, there are only a few people who know this in­ formation, and none of them are returns preparers. Another signal is the preparer's advertising cam- paing. Watch out for anyone who guarantees a refund as part of the pitch. It simply is not possible for a preparer to know whether you are legally entitled to a refund without knowing what your income, tokhholdjng, filing status and expefrsefc are. The same principle applies to preparers whose fees are based on the size of your refund. Because their fee increases with the amount of your check, these people may inflate your refund in order to enlarge their profit. Beware also of the flv-bv- nignter - the preparer who hangs out a shingle on Jan. 1 and leaves town right after the filing season is over. Choose someone who will be around to answer questions if the IRS calls you in for an examination Never sign a blank return, one that has not been com­ pleted, or one that has been completed in pencil Remember, it is your return and you are responsible for whaUgoes on it. So sign only what you know is permanent and correct Finally, if you do have a refund coming, make sure that it is sent directly to you. That' way you'll know that the return that was filed was filed the way you signed it You'll be certain that you're getting all the refund you're due American Legion Post 491 - RINGWOOD ROAD.
